AHLEM was launched in 2014 by Paris-born, Los Angeles-based designer Ahlem Manai-Platt.

Insistent attention to detail, exceptional materials, dedication to sustainable methods, and an enduring obsession with arts and culture combine to inform AHLEM’s vision. The timeless submissions of early 20th century Bauhaus design principles resonate and serve as a consistent aesthetic reference.

Each pair of AHLEM glasses journey to three specialised ateliers and into the hands of nine skilled artisans, each with a particular craft passed down through generations. Preserving their knowledge and traditions is core to AHLEM’s mission.

Raw organic shapes and elegant geometries offer designs that exist beyond trend in the belief that functional objects of exceptional design and quality are always relevant.
