The Artistic Renaissance of Mercura: Eyewear as Avant-Garde Art
Mercura, founded by sisters Rachel and Merrilee Cohen, was born from a fusion of artistic and scientific influences. Raised near the picturesque Puget Sound by artist parents, the sisters’ creativity was nurtured from a young age. Their inventive spirit was further sparked by their brother’s laboratory, which he left behind, filled with intriguing materials. This unique blend of art and science is evident in Mercura’s eyewear, renowned for its eclectic mix of materials and innovative designs. Drawing inspiration from both the scientific and artistic realms, the Cohens create stunning, one-of-a-kind pieces that range from expressive and spiritually charged to playful and geometric.
