Story and Legacy

The SCHOLAR RETRO Lava embodied the fusion of heritage and modernity that defines Maison Marcel. Its transparent acetate frame revealed subtle layers of depth and reflection, transforming the classic rectangular Scholar shape into a luminous study of form and time. The design captured vintage charm while embracing the clarity of contemporary craftsmanship.

Handcrafted in Italy with premium cellulose acetate and Carl Zeiss lenses, this limited edition of 20 pieces worldwide celebrated the Maison’s devotion to preservation over production. Conceived in Miami and shaped through Italian precision, the Lava variant of the Scholar Retro collection remains a refined exploration of transparency, nostalgia, and innovation within the Maison Marcel archive.
