Chams — Brown lens
Chams — Brown lens
In every language, the sun has a name. In Arabic, it is Chams — شمس — the oldest word for the oldest light. Not a metaphor. Not a symbol. The actual burning center of everything, the force that sets the direction of every shadow, every season, every face turned upward.
Cobalt named this frame after the sun because nothing less would do. Chams is the heaviest silhouette in the SUN OBJECT collection — oversized, bold, built with the kind of presence that doesn't ask for attention, it commands it. The thick acetate carries weight the way the sun carries heat: constantly, without effort, without apology.
You don't wear Chams to be seen. You wear Chams because you already are.
SUN OBJECT. First light. First frame.
SUN OBJECT frames are built to last — treat them with the same intention they were made with.
Clean the lenses daily
Use the microfibre cloth provided. Avoid paper, clothing, or dry surfaces — they carry micro-abrasives that damage lens coatings over time.
Rinse before wiping
If lenses are dusty or sandy, rinse with lukewarm water first. Never wipe dry lenses that have debris on them.
Store in the case
Always return your pair to its hard case when not in use. Leaving frames loose in a bag — even for minutes — is where most damage happens.
Keep away from heat
Do not leave frames in direct sunlight on a dashboard or near a heat source. Acetate warps and lens coatings degrade above 60°C.
Handle with two hands
Opening and closing the arms with one hand repeatedly weakens the hinge. Two hands, always — it takes one second and doubles the lifespan.
