FACE A FACE – Objects Of Magic


FACE A FACE Objects Of Magic eyewear

For this new collection, the FACE A FACE designers continue their exploration around the Italian Memphis art movement – with a kinetic prism!

Each of the models seems to move to better reveal the richness of their shape. From the kaleidoscopic effect of the KALËDO dizziness, through the visible and poetically articulated frame to the CLINT to the “moving” hinge of the SWING movements… The simulation of displacement gives these concepts a magical character.

The nod to the Memphis movement is propagated and expressed by a colour-blocking palette: ultra-graphic materials contrasting with solid colours – bringing to life playful clashes, conceived as a visual interplay and dialogue. Great technical acumen is also revealed in the bonding and machining, designed to bring poetry to life.

As Ettore Sottsass, founder of the Memphis movement, said: “Design begins where rational processes end and those of magic start.” So, dare to be irrational, to think the unthinkable and to do the unprecedented. Be where no one is waiting for you. Cultivate magic with FACE À FACE.

A tribute in sunglasses to the work of designer Ettore Sottsas. A mischievous and playful tribute to the work of Ettore Sottsass, these sunglasses are as cheeky as they are expressive!
