Nosepads on metal frames can sometimes appear too noticeable a part of the finished product. For something so functional to interfere with the form and fit of the glasses is a little annoying for a frame designer.
James van Vossel has suggested a solution in his latest collaboration with Theo, by freeing the lens from the frame where it edges the nose, but continuing the frame back toward the face to provide integral nosepads with no need for the winding stems that are usually the host to a silicon pad.
The result: a quirky looking frame with a corner 'missing' that I am intrigued to try on!
I find your collection quite unique. I like it and I'm sure many would love this. The style of disappearing nose pads is not common. I like your idea! You can also visit one of my fav site <a href="http://www.gregnormancollection.com/eyewear:>Greg Norman Sunglasses</a>.
ReplyDeleteinteresting! I went to st malo this weekend, and saw these frames in a window in a lovely opticians. I wasn't that won over, but instead loved another brand in the window called 'woodone' which I hadn't come across before. Not much about them online, and only one london retailer, but they were *goorgeous*. Laminate wood, a bit like some of the rolf frames I think.
