Design greats such as the architect Florence Knoll, the couple Charles and Ray Eames or the artist Harry Bertoia had something in common: Striving for timeless design true to the motto “form follows function”. With fine lines, organic shapes, and muted colors, the mid-century modern style took hold in the second third of the last century, fascinating to this day.
Lunor is reviving the zeitgeist of the time with its new C1 line now, translating this style-forming retro chic into the 21st century. Expressive acetate, combined with fine titanium details, gives this frame an urban look that is both avantgarde and modern despite being homage to times gone by. Organic, geometric, minimalistic: A timeless style that lasts.
It is due to the clear design and successful play with opposites that the mid-century modern style has not lost any of its charm to this day. Curvy and streamlined design meets urban materials such as acrylic and aluminum; geometric designs are combined with natural materials such as leather and wood; emphasis of primary colors and earthy tones or black and white contrasts perfectly complement each other.
Definitely doing without scrolls and decorations. The design team at the spectacles manufacturer Lunor also acts according to this principle and launches a clean frame with its new C1 line that brings the two materials acetate and titanium into an elegant line.

Urban retro chic with the new Lunor C1
The spectacles producers from the Black-Forest town of Bad Liebenzell have a very special output with their C1 – the elaborate design of the profile in combination with a high-contrast material mix makes this frame an extravagant must-have for design fans. The Lunor stub design, being the filigree starting point of the temple with curved shape on both sides, is an absolute specialty.
In addition, the clear line of the acetate gives a strong impression to the front highlighting the eyebrow area, and giving the C1 its style-forming character. The detailed outlines made of titanium give the model a balanced lightness, created by a fine rim around the eyes, and line details on bridge and temples.
The Lunor C1 is manufactured by experienced spectacles producers by hand under fair conditions in a small prefecture in Japan. The unisex frame is available in two panto shapes, an anatomic and an octagon shape as well as in the color combinations antique silver and black, antique gold and brown, and rose gold and havana – picking up the color feeling of that time.
