Morel is excited to renew its collaboration with Jean Nouvel, bringing back the iconic collection with fresh, bold designs. Over the past five years, MOREL and Nouvel have made their mark with innovative and artistic eyewear.
This season, the collection surprises once again with a striking, avant-garde look that stays true to their shared vision of sophistication and creativity. Each piece reflects Nouvel’s unique style, paired perfectly with MOREL’s commitment to craftsmanship.
The architect’s vision; the eyewear manufacturer’s expertise
Imagined and designed with the vision of an expert architect in the art of minimalism, these frames take up the classic, structured aesthetic of the MOREL collection by Jean Nouvel.
The round, pure and monolithic design captures the fundamental, essence of this unique and astonishing collaboration.
Unmatched style
Jean Nouvel’s first passion, the circle, makes a return in this new season. Reinterpreted in a radical design with minimalistic lines, the circle is expressed in round frames with an assertive character.
Acetate and titanium
Noble materials sublimate the shapes, catching light and giving depth to the frames. The result is unmistakable: a sleek, high-end style.
The story of Morel begins in 1880, on the heights of the Haut-Jura National Park: the cradle of French eyewear. For four generations, Morel has been designing eyewear with passion and creativity.
The 1880 collection is inspired by the brand’s emblematic models and reinterprets designs at the heart of the trend. Morel’s history is first and foremost that of a family passionate about their work as manufacturers of the eyeglasses they have designed and created since 1880.
The French brand is both creative and trailblazing, making its mark on the public through its iconic models sold in millions of copies throughout the world. 140 years during which the brand has never stopped perfecting its know-how, refining its technical skills and cultivating its creativity.
