Story and Legacy

BOLT V2 “SHORTCAKE” — EDITION OF 20

Wearable Sculpture · Micro Edition · Edition of 20

BOLT V2 “Shortcake” transforms the sharper, broader architecture of the BOLT V2 silhouette through a playful study of color and nostalgia. Its vibrant palette brings a sense of sweetness and spontaneity to the frame while preserving the precision and sculptural presence of the BOLT form.

The broader profile and sleek fit give Shortcake a substantial visual presence, balancing its expressive color treatment with a clean contemporary structure. Conceived as a collectible object as much as functional eyewear, the piece captures Maison Marcel’s approach to turning familiar references into highly limited wearable sculpture.

Conceived in Miami and handcrafted in Italy, BOLT V2 “Shortcake” was produced as a micro edition of only 20 pieces worldwide. Each frame was individually serialized and documented, preserving its place within the Maison Marcel archive.
