A brand named after
an irrational number.
3.14nk is a hypothesis dressed as an eyewear brand. Read the digits aloud and you get pink.

The manifesto
Three clauses,
one decimal.
We don’t do mission statements. We do clauses you can argue with.
01
Vision
Make optimism a setting, not a feeling.
The world looks better through 38% rose because the brain expects worse. We sell the half-step warmer. Everything else is noise.
02
Mission
Cut five frames a season, by hand, in titanium.
No restocks, no colourways, no cousin shapes. Two hundred per frame, one rose lens, then we walk away and start the next sequence.
03
Values
Refuse the grey sunglass.
Grey is the default; rose is the hypothesis. Dip-dye three times, measure on every pour, melt anything outside ±1% of 38.
The atelier
Hand-cut titanium.
Dip-dyed rose.
One billet, eleven steps, 0.1 mm tolerance — the whole frame walks out by hand.
The lens
38%isn’t a colour. It’s a filter.
One rose tint, calibrated where light-sensitivity research stops and fashion starts. Same on every frame.

The philosophy
“We don’t make eyewear that disappears. We make eyewear that makes the world disappear for a single shade.”
