A virtuosic design for masters of their own domain, the Panto / Maestro is a perennial favorite of many architects, including the modernist pioneer Le Corbusier, who donned the original Max Pittion edition in his mid-century heyday. Not quite oval, these bold, horizontally rounded frames have swooping wings and a smoothly curved nose bridge. Like Le Corbusier's most iconic buildings, they make simplicity feel like a revelation.
