Koenigsegg and Chimi Collaborate to Create FORCA-G Collection
Koenigsegg, the Swedish automaker known for producing some of the world’s fastest and most exclusive hypercars, has teamed up with Chimi, a Swedish eyewear and fashion brand, to create the FORCA-G collection. The collection includes a pair of sunglasses and a racing jacket that are made from the same materials used in Koenigsegg’s cars.
The FORCA-G racing jacket is the most eye-catching piece in the collection. It is made from a 60 percent metal alloy fiber shell that is breathable, wind and water-repellent. The lining is finished with Koenigsegg’s signature pattern, and the ghost logo is used for the zipper pull. The jacket also features 3D titanium embroidery on the arm and comes with a sunglasses case that attaches to the jacket using neodymium magnets.
The FORCA-G sunglasses are crafted from lightweight titanium and feature sharp “curvation for an aerodynamic fit.” They have mineral lenses for extreme precision and clarity, as well as scratch resistance. The sunglasses come in either silver or black and cost £450 ($574 USD).
Christian von Koenigsegg, the automaker’s founder and chief mad science officer, said, “Koenigsegg’s philosophy has always been to imbue extreme performance with elegance, and that has been brought to life completely in the FORCA-G collection. Chimi’s gifted team, with whom we have loved collaborating, has masterfully captured the thrill and grace of racing in the craftsmanship of these items. FORCA-G is a fitting tribute to and reflection of both racing culture and of design-led innovation.”
The FORCA-G collection is a departure from the typical collaborations between automakers and fashion brands. Instead of creating something inoffensive and safe, Koenigsegg and Chimi went all-in on the idea of extreme performance and elegance. The result is a collection that captures the thrill and grace of racing in a way that only Koenigsegg and Chimi could.
In conclusion, the FORCA-G collection is a testament to Koenigsegg’s commitment to extreme performance and elegance. The racing jacket and sunglasses are made from the same materials used in Koenigsegg’s cars, and they capture the thrill and grace of racing in a way that only Koenigsegg and Chimi could. The collection is a departure from the typical collaborations between automakers and fashion brands, and it is sure to be a hit with fans of both Koenigsegg and Chimi.
