New Gail Spence ProDesign Range

A perfect example of how fresh contrasting colors can emphasize the whole design of a frame

The matte transparent nylon of the temple connects beautifully with the front through the colored cylinder hinge. Instead of hiding the hinge, it has become a significant part of the frame, and that particular detail really stands out. The cylinder hinge is a brand new, innovative approach to a functional solution that goes on to become a compelling design element!

The metallic color of the front adds depth to the design and brings out the three-dimensional detail of the frame.

This new collection from Gail Spence does not deny her background as a jeweler or her creative pursuit of functional, simple and beautiful solutions.

Gary Oldman and Face à Face in the film
'THE BOOK OF ELI'

In 'The Book of Eli', Gary Oldman wears model WOODY Col.192. The Woody models brilliantly revive the style of the 40’s. Their volumes are contemporary, as are the colour combinations. These eyeglasses will become one of the codes of this highly trendy, “Nouvelle Vague” style.

ProDesign Zense 7342 wins 'functions & technologies' category at the IOFT in Tokyo.

This Innovative, streamlined and dynamic frame is now presented in a brand new and bright color range. The lightness in shape and color gives this frame a youthful, energetic and appealing look, which is most likely to become a new favorite among those who prefer the “innovative”, yet distinctive style.

The case that goes with this frame is, in itself, a work of art; a smooth, organic and modern design, that perfectly complements the style and functionality of the frame itself.

To make the perfect presentation of this frame, we have created a unique display unit, that almost gives the impression that the frame is floating on air.

For the second year in a row, Face à Face won the Silmo d’Or in the sunglasses village category.

The Miami Sunglasses play on femininity, combining the precious side of gold with the sensual spirit of acetate.
Golden threads inserted into the acetate delicately enlighten the frame. Their line,   voluntarily uneven, underlines the artistic and unique characteristic of the sunglasses and suggests the refinement of a hand made piece of jewellery.

The combination of deep violet and iridescent beige acetates sublimates the brightness of gold. In order to be in perfect harmony, the hinge and the rivet have been treated in gold.

An ultra-feminine, arty accessory that will quickly become a collector!

The sunglasses MIAMI are mounted in base 6 to allow prescription lenses.
