Italian High‑End Furniture Delegation Engages Miami’s Design Ecosystem

The IACCSE in collaboration with Promos Italia — the national agency of the Italian Chamber system dedicated to internationalization – hosted a delegation of five Italian companies specializing in high‑end furniture for a two‑day trade mission in Miami.

The initiative connected Italian manufacturers with the South Florida design community through a curated program of B2B meetings tailored to each firm on Oct. 29-30.

Participating companies included:

Throughout the mission, companies met with architects, interior designers, and real estate developers, gaining first‑hand exposure to the dynamics of the South Florida market. The format enabled participants to exchange insights, assess evolving design and procurement trends, and gather concrete requests from qualified buyers.

As part of the program, the delegation engaged with leading firms involved by the Chamber, including Gensler, Stratos, Touzet Studio, and others. These high‑level conversations offered a practical understanding of specifications, timelines, and U.S. project requirements—key elements for entering or expanding in the region.

This mission marks a pilot in a renewed collaboration between IACCSE and Promos Italia.

EssilorLuxottica Unveils the Next Generation of Eyewear at MetaConnect

By EssilorLuxottica – (Massimo Sapone SVP North America Logistics & Distribution)

At EssilorLuxottica, we believe our eyes are the gateway to human empowerment. That vision took another leap forward this week at Meta Connect, where we unveiled the next generation of smart glasses – products that signal a defining moment for both our company and the broader wearables industry.

Three new launches highlight the breadth of what’s possible when eyewear meets technology:

·     Ray-Ban Meta Gen2: the evolution of the world’s best-selling AI glasses, now with longer battery life, enhanced camera quality, and new styles that can be paired with Transitions Gen S lenses.

·     Oakley Meta Vanguard: the next step in athletic intelligence. Designed for performance, these glasses integrate a 12MP ultra-wide camera, open-ear audio, and advanced wind noise reduction—plus seamless connection to Garmin and Strava for real-time performance data. Swappable Oakley® PRIZM™ Shield Lenses allow customization for both function and style.

·     Meta Ray-Ban Display: a forward-looking prototype offering a full-color visual display inside the lenses, previewing how AI glasses may soon deliver messages, notifications, and contextual information directly in the wearer’s field of view.

These introductions are more than new products: they represent the continuation of a journey that began over a decade ago. Eyewear is now one of the fastest-growing categories in wearable technology, and with our deep expertise in vision and design, EssilorLuxottica is uniquely positioned to shape its future.

The opportunity is clear: technology, health, and lifestyle are converging, and glasses are becoming an everyday platform for empowerment.

What we launched this week underscores not only where the industry is headed, but how EssilorLuxottica is heping to build that future.
