FACE A FACE x Jessica Poundstone: Sculpting Emotion Through Colour
To celebrate its 30th anniversary, FACE A FACE has partnered with American artist Jessica Poundstone in a vibrant creative fusion that pulses with life, emotion, and innovation.
Known for her bold, overlapping hues that radiate with energy, Poundstone’s work has long fascinated the FACE A FACE design team. Now, that admiration takes form in a limited-edition concept simply called: Faces.
Face a Face x Jessica Poundstone: Powerful Emotional Responses
Poundstone’s ‘Power Color’ collection, particularly Love is Real, deeply influenced the colours used in Faces, where tones blend and contrast to evoke powerful emotional responses. According to the three FACE A FACE designers, the dynamic colour vibrations from her art shaped the creative process, creating a seamless connection between art and wearable design.
“The collaboration also mark a new phase for FACE A FACE – what we call 3.0. While building on the foundation we’ve crafted over the years, we’re embracing our core value of trusting our intuition.
The inner story of FACE A FACE is sculpting colours; it becomes a baseline, the core. And while we’ve been fascinated by Jessica Poundstone’s work for a while, merging our shared love for colour and the ability to create emotions by overlapping hues has really resonated with what we believe a celebration of FACE A FACE should be.”
Face a Face x Jessica Poundstone: Three-dimensional colour
By blending art with eyewear, FACE A FACE is aiming to express colour in a radical, three-dimensional way. Jessica Poundstone’s vibrant palettes, alive with energy, seamlessly align with the FACE A FACE universe. The interplay and juxtaposition of hues proved to be a powerful source of inspiration, revealing the captivating transformation of an artwork into a wearable piece of art. This collaboration not only celebrates colour but elevates it into something you can wear, experience, and feel.
