Meticulously crafted eyewear.

01 Design

Birthed as eyewear. Given more purpose.

Nossa begins with proportion, balance, weight, material, and fit. The intelligence is embedded only where it serves the frame.

Answers

The useful parts, plainly.

What is Nossa?

Nossa is design-led eyewear that brings private open-ear audio, discreet memory, and voice-first intelligence into lightweight frames.

Is Nossa prescription-ready?

Nossa is planned for sunglass, optical, blue-light, anti-reflective, and prescription-ready styles during limited early access waves.

How heavy is Nossa?

The Nossa 01 silhouette is designed around a 29 gram frame. Lighter than most Wayfarers.

Does Nossa have a display or a camera?

No. We believe technology needs to be attuned to your world instead of demanding your attention. Nossa is designed without a camera or display so the frame keeps the social language of traditional eyewear.

What does the memory feature do?

Nossa is intended to help preserve notes, decisions, ideas, reminders, and spoken memos so they can be recalled later.

What can the intelligent assistant do?

Nossa can connect to your calendar, emails, reminders, contacts, and more to help you stay organized and on top of your day. It can also search the web and answer questions across all your past meetings and memos.

What is private open-ear audio?

High fidelity speakers sit right next to your ear, enabling you to listen to music, podcasts, or phone calls while still hearing everything around you perfectly. No one else can hear what you can.

About Nossa

Technology should have manners.

Tortoise and black eyewear prototypes arranged over technical frame sketches

Nossa is a design-led eyewear house with roots from Yale and Cornell, created around a simple conviction. The most personal technology should feel quiet, considered, and beautifully made.

We begin with eyewear because it already belongs to the body, the wardrobe, the room. Then we add only what earns its place. Private sound, memory, and a voice that can help without pulling you away from the life in front of you.

Nossa is designed by the team behind AirCaps and TranscribeGlass, award winning wearable audio products. Our products are worn by thousands of people across 42 countries.

Along the way, we garnered significant attention. We accumulated 75M views across brands. We were featured in the New Yorker, Forbes, WIRED, and others. But we also felt frustrated by a new wave of technology that asks to be noticed. As contrarians, we wanted to build technology made to be chosen.

With Nossa, the ambition is not to make technology more visible.

It is to make it more intimate. More beautiful. More worthy of being worn.
