Collection

Acetate

This is a collection of frames that highlight the power of integrity in design. Some shapes are based on what always works, others are new and characterised by loads of attitude.

In other words: Timeless designs with a hint of what’s next. While we’ve added drops of new, exclusive acetates, they all still create their own mesmerising patterns and rich colours.

The aluminum concepts are still defined by classic volumes, but now accompanied by a new concept with slightly more edge. As always, we’ve added finishing touches and elegant details to complete the picture. That kind of precision and honesty in design is our legacy.
