FUSION OF COLORS AT FACE À FACE
What happens when colour transcends its role as a visual element and becomes a conduit for emotion?
This spring, the French brand FACE A FACE takes its experimental artistry to new heights, evolving the concept of COLOUR FUSION into a full INFUSION.
FACE A FACE Eyewear // Model DIDOT
The DIDOT concept draws inspiration from the bold contrasts of the iconic Didot font, where thick and thin lines interplay to create mesmerizing optical effects. Solid and open spaces seem to reverse roles, resulting in a design that captivates the eye. Beneath the endpiece, the illusion of extreme thinness is achieved with delicate crystal detailing.
Handcrafted in France with precision machining, bonding, and polishing, DIDOT is the epitome of elegance and technical mastery.
FACE A FACE Eyewear // Model BOCCA PLUM
Inspired by the luscious curves of a plum, the new BOCCA frames are delightfully fruity and feminine! Their soft, flowing lines are accentuated by a playful point full of character.
This season, a fresh addition graces the BOCCA wardrobe—a small, coloured heel and tip that recall the iconic two-tone shoes, seamlessly pairing elegance with charm. Mischievous and delightful, the BOCCA PLUM frames are irresistibly chic.
FACE A FACE Eyewear // Model TWILL
The TWILL model challenges the boundaries of design with its innovative material removal process. By gradually tapering constant thicknesses at key intersections, the frames achieve remarkable structural strength while maintaining a sleek and refined silhouette.
The surface application of colour enhances the impression of thinness, creating a vibrant interplay between vertical and horizontal lines. The result is a design that spices up the gaze and delivers a contemporary edge.
FACE A FACE Eyewear // Model OTOMO
Introducing OTOMO, where timeless style meets modern sophistication. These frames redefine masculine elegance, blending metal and acetate to create striking contrasts and an effortless fusion of materials.
Crafted with innovative polishing techniques, OTOMO exudes quality and precision, drawing inspiration from the meticulous artistry of Japanese craftsmanship.
Designed for those who embrace individuality, OTOMO frames stand out with elegance while staying true to their wearer’s unique identity.
FACE A FACE continues to push the boundaries of design, merging art, technique, and emotion to create eyewear that inspires and delights. With each new collection, the brand invites wearers to celebrate their individuality with bold, expressive frames.
