Innovation and Style in Every Wire – OBE x Pray New York

Products · June 5, 2025

When OBE and Pray New York joined forces, we knew we didn’t want to settle for the ordinary. A simple metal core inside acetate frames? Not enough. We aimed higher — combining engineering precision with bold design to create something truly unique.

That’s how the STEPPED WIRE was born: not just a technical element, but a design feature. Instead of a uniform shape, the wire evolves in layers — like a miniature mountain range — giving the frame depth, dimension, and character.

But we didn’t stop there. We added exclusive textures and patterns to elevate the design even further. The result is a seamless blend of aesthetics and function — brought to life through the synergy between OBE’s innovation and Pray New York’s creative vision.

Because in design, details make the difference. And when two worlds come together with the same passion, the outcome is nothing short of exceptional.
