Summary
Gentle Monster previews its 16-piece Intelligent Eyewear Collection in New York.

Gentle Monster is unveiling its full Intelligent Eyewear Collection for the first time at a public preview in New York City, running from November 13 – 23, 2026, at 23 Wall Street.
Open to visitors via online registration, the exhibition marks the public’s first opportunity to experience the Seoul-based eyewear house’s debut line of wearable technology in person. Rather than presenting the frames as conventional consumer electronics, Gentle Monster is introducing the 16-piece optical and sunglass lineup through an immersive, gallery-style showcase that reflects the label’s reputation for avant-garde retail installations and experimental aesthetics.

Developed through a three-way partnership with Google and Samsung, the lineup covers six frames, two optical styles and four sunglasses, offered in 16 combinations of colorways and lenses. The shapes reflect the brand’s sculptural design language: clean squares, fluid silhouettes, sharp linear builds, sweeping curves and chunky ovals.
Black acetate anchors the range, with gray, pink, dark red and yellow options alongside it. The technology is designed to stay in the background. Wearers can talk to Gemini, Google’s AI assistant, by voice, and the glasses pair with both Android and iOS phones. Each frame weighs about 40 grams and runs up to nine hours on a single charge, or up to 72 hours with the charging case.
Gentle Monster’s intelligent eyewear collection officially launches on December 10, exclusively via Gentle Monster in the US and South Korea, with prices ranging from $449 – $489 USD.
