SCHOLAR MUTANT — EDITION OF 11

SCHOLAR MUTANT

Scholar Mutant is a hand-painted evolution of the MARCEL Scholar, inspired by mutant energy, underground comic culture, radioactive color, and the Saturday-morning nostalgia of the 1990s.

The original Scholar silhouette is sculpted from Italian acetate and handcrafted by artisans in Modena, Italy. Each Scholar Mutant begins with that architectural form and is then individually painted, altered, and finished by Marcel Katz.

No two works are identical. Variations in color, texture, brushwork, and finish are intentional characteristics of the artwork, giving every frame its own identity within the edition.

Wearable sculpture. A mutation of the archive.

Every order includes the frame, a leather case, a Maison Marcel presentation box, an outer protective box, a microfiber cloth, authenticity card, certificate of provenance, and the printed care booklet.

A care booklet is included with every order. Clean the lenses with the provided microfiber cloth. Store your frame in its leather case when not in use. Keep it away from heat, alcohol-based products, and salt water. Treat it as you would a collectible object.

Each frame begins with Italian cellulose acetate, shaped and polished by hand in Modena. Artisans refine every line until the form feels inevitable. Precision replaces speed, and every gesture preserves intention.
