Spectacle Eyeworks
Spectacle Eyeworks Inc., the Canadian design house, unveils three stunning new mixed-material styles to their vast and voluminous Spectacle Eyeworks house collection. The combination of stainless steel and acetate on each design creates a union that integrates the bold and exciting with a divine sense of harmonic grace. The hybrid of components collaborates to accentuate the beauty in one another.
From the masculine stance of Doug with its oxidized steel brow piece, the curved sensuality of Yvette, and the daring rustic metal Bijou complete with acetate accents above the eye line, this trio defies convention.

neubau
In 2020, Austrian eyewear manufacturer neubau eyewear will be redefining the production of its sustainable models and therefore achieving another milestone on its path to sustainability: in the future, the label will be using a method that produces glasses from a 100% bio-based material – natural3D – that will be exclusively used with 3D printing technology. The high-tech production is particularly resource-efficient because layers of powdered natural3D are fused together using a laser and any residual material is reused.
neubau eyewear presents two collections made of the innovative material at opti 2020, including the Special Edition 2020.
