THEO zwemt tegen de stroom in

THEO zwemt tegen de stroom in

Bij THEO zwemmen ze graag tegen de stroom in. Sterker nog, wij zouden verbaasd zijn als deze Antwerpse brillenmakers zich voor de verandering eens zouden conformeren aan de mainstream..

Gelukkig hebben ze dat ook nu weer niet gedaan. Voor dit najaar bedachten ze drie nieuwe designfamilies die zoals altijd de fantasie prikkelen en het oog verleiden.

 

Lavalands speelt met de confrontatie tussen warm acetaat en koel metaal en refereert aan eenzelfde botsing van de elementen wanneer een gloeiendhete lavastroom in koud water stolt. Het contrast zit ‘m niet alleen in de materialen maar deels ook in de typische THEO kleuren. Met maar liefst 5 modellen ieder in 8 kleuren is er volop keus voor iedereen.

 

Bij de Arches serie ligt het accent op de wenkbrauw partij die dankzij een opvallende vorm en een contrasterende kleur extra aandacht krijgt. Ook dit keer was de natuur de inspiratiebron en wel in de vorm van die typische natuurlijke stenen bogen die je overal ter wereld vindt. Vaak imposant en massief, soms juist breekbaar en fragiel maar altijd intrigerend net als deze nieuwe modellen.

 

Last but not least heeft de fameuze Potatoes Acetate familie een ware metamorfose ondergaan. Dankzij een ingenieuze nylor constructie en een vrolijk acetaat randje heeft deze serie een geheel nieuwe en lekker uitdagende look gekregen heeft. Alles natuurlijk weer in veel vormen en kleuren want dat is toch wel het handelsmerk van deze unieke ontwerpers.

THEO brillen moet je zien en passen.
Je vindt ze onder andere bij deze opticiens.

Porsche Design surprises with new top model

Porsche Design surprises with new top model

Making visually beautiful things is a challenge for every designer in every industry and certainly also in the optical field, but of course functional innovations are maybe even more interesting and important.

Functionality is not always beautiful and that is why functional adjustments are often hidden and made invisible. At Porsche Design, they think differently. The statement with their latest glasses design is therefore:

"In most designs, the function remains hidden.
But we don’t want to hide something UNIQUE."

Because the new hinges in the most exclusive Porsche Design frame to date are not only a functional improvement, but also very beautiful and should therefore be seen. Porsche Design ambassador Patrick Dempsey wears this new luxury frame with style and proves once again that a beautiful and well-chosen frame can really be an eye-catcher and the finishing touch to any outfit.

New showroom alert: Morel Eyewear

New showroom alert: Morel Eyewear

The newest brand in our showroom is one that’s got quite the history. Family-run Morel has been making eyewear since as early as 1880. The fourth generation of Morel’s is now in charge, successfully introducing this French brand to the rest of the world...

Back in the late nineteenth century, Jules Morel who started out as a farmer in the French Jura, created his first pince-nez (a pair of glasses with a nose clip and no temples). It was the beginning of the successful eyewear story of Morel. Over the years to come, the company would slowly grow into what it is now: an eyewear brand with a strong heritage and a global reach.

For today’s collection, the brand often finds inspiration in its own archives. For instance, their 1880 collection offers re-interpretations of designs from the earliest days of Morel: delicate frames with a unique look and a vintage feel to them.

Their collections of optical glasses and sunglasses always complement your face without being loud. But don’t mistake their subtle look for boring. Unexpected shapes, soft gradient colors, and every now and then the use of prints make all Morel frames unique and interesting.

Founder Jules Morel not only had a love for eyewear, but as a farmer also for his land. This love for both is still a prominent part of the Morel brand. The company has committed itself not only to reduce their use of energy sources, become a zero-paper office and reduce their waste, but also to work on biodiversity by hosting 12 beehives on their property.

New showroom alert: Max Mara

New showroom alert: Max Mara

We are happy to announce a new addition to our ever-expanding collection of showrooms: Max Mara Eyewear. This brand is the epitome of Italian style and luxury and its collection of super feminine glasses and sunglasses is so worth checking out...

Italian fashion house Max Mara is probably most famous for its luxurious cashmere coats that are of such high quality that they get passed down from generation to generation. True investment pieces.

Max Mara optical glasses and sunglasses have the same sense of sophistication as we’ve come the expect from this brand and just like the fashion collection, they are made from the highest quality materials. Both the optical glasses and sunglasses are super feminine and timeless. Especially the sunglasses tend to take the term ‘oversized’ to a new level and will definitely add some glamour to your life.

For the SS2022 collection, Max Mara took inspiration from two extraordinary women. Irish architect and designer Eileen Gray who was a pioneer for the Modern Movement. And secondly, Lee Miller. A model, a fashion photographer who had some of the biggest names of her times in front of her lens and also a war correspondent during WWII. Inspiring women, to say the least, that give life to this collection.

If our little selection makes you hungry for more, check out the entire Max Mara showroom here.
