Xavier Garcia’s new collection is all about the material. The colours and shapes of the frames work together to form timeless pieces. Each frame is an object of design, created with a delicate combination of the contemporary and the classic.
Xavier Garcia embraces the work of an artisan where a set of multiple laminates and volumes are melted together with superb craftsmanship. Playing with the volumes and architecture, he fuses past references into new models, resulting in new vision of long-lasting trends. The flexibility of the acetate alongside the rigidity of the metal ensures each item in the collection is enduring, lightweight and easy to wear, as well as faithful to its strong personality.
EBLOCK, FRAMES WITH DOUBLE SOUL WITH MAGNET CLIP-ON.
A unique accessory that transforms the frame – strictly in acetate Mazzucchelli – giving it an even more modern and distinctive charm.
Coherence, research and reliability are the main elements of EBLOCK brand but, also, creativity! Starts from here the idea of a unique “object” that change the eyeglass in a fashion accessory, super fashion: the magnetic clip-on. With a simple gesture, accosting the dark lenses to the front – a classic model in acetate Mazzucchelli – the frame turns into a sunglass. A perfect marriage among the block distinctive sign of the collection, the revolutionary and patented eblock system of closure of the circle and the magnet of the clip-on.
In the last years, Eblock has laid the foundation for an important growth path, supported by the great know-how of the producing Company – Som Eyewear – that claims 40 years of activity in the glasses industry. From this expertise, enriched by the enthusiasm and the desire to propose something new, they have created a distinctive brand. The band has been able to contaminate the tradition with technological innovations, giving to the collections a contemporary breath.
The Eblock signed clip-on has been designed and developed to be perfectly matched to the glasses – in acetate – forming a natural part, integrated with the design of the frame: not a foreign body but two souls that coexist in the same object. There comes a structured frame, ideal in the “dark” version.
For the launch of the sun clip-on – available in stores since September 2017 – Eblock has also launched an alternative campaign: a story telling that animates a short video, 30 seconds of frames to tell a story and, at the same time, the essence of a brand.
Eblock is your #messaggiodistile, even under the sun. Summer and winter!

“THE LIGHTNESS OF WEIGHT”
BUDRI PRESENTED ITS REVOLUTIONARY COLLECTION OF MARBLE EYEWEAR AT SILMO 2016
October 2016 – Budri, the leading Italian company worldwide renowned for its original marble craftsmanship, launched at Silmo its first eyewear line. A tribute to lightness and a pioneering development in the use of marble: this rare, exquisite material becomes a wafer-thin surface, shaped by skilled craftsmanship and fine technologies to create a luxury eyewear collection with a perfect fit.
The original, unconventional idea came about, almost by magic, in August 2011 in the Budri atelier during the production of Nat|f|Use – the collection created in collaboration with the designer Patricia Urquiola. A piece of marble was dropped by accident and the shape of the resulting fragment resembled a pair of glasses. This heralded the start of an increasingly ambitious, bold and sensational challenge: to forge marble into a wearable accessory and to make it technically suited to accommodating plano and corrective lenses.
Budri presented the first prototypes early in 2014, making it the precursor of a trend in the eyewear industry, which is increasingly turning its attention to the potential use of unusual, innovative materials. In the same year a devastating earthquake struck the entire district to the north of Modena, delaying the project that had been enthusiastically promoted and supported by Gianmarco Budri. In the months that followed he therefore devoted his energy to rebuilding the company and getting the eyewear project back on track, combining Budri’s outstanding workmanship with the know-how and genius of designer Valerio Cometti, as well as the expertise of some of the biggest names in the eyewear industry.
After two years of painstaking research, culminating in the in-house development of a specific production technology, Budri launches its exclusive and revolutionary collection of prescription and sun eyewear created in marble, onyx and semi-precious stones.
Each frame is made from a single slab of stone, meticulously selected directly in the quarry and analysed with the aid of a next-generation scanner in the Budri workshop. The selected portion of marble undergoes a sophisticated milling-cutting process to produce a solid convex piece, from which the shape of the glasses frame is cut.
The next phase is the shaping of the front and the temples, which are both assembled with a specially developed carbon fibre core. Once the lens housing has been created and optimised, the production process is completed with a logo applied to temples, finished with resin coating then assembly with high-precision torx screws, traditionally used in high-end watchmaking, and finally a special nanotechnology coating that makes the surface antibacterial and oleophobic.
The Budri Eyewear Collection comprises five models whose names are a clear tribute to the art of Italian sculpture and its greatest exponents: Donatello, Bernini, Michelangelo, Canova and Palladio.
Proposed in nine varieties of marble from the world’s finest quarries, including Amazonite from Patagonia, Portoro from the gulf of La Spezia and precious Lapis Lazuli from South Africa, the five shapes are available in the sunglasses version and two are also available in a prescription version.
The creations take inspiration from classic, iconic eyewear models: the aviator style, the cat’s-eye model outlined by ’50s divas, the square model with keyhole bridge, the round shape and the mask model are all creatively reinterpreted in marble. Each model can be uniquely personalised thanks to a range of exclusive finishes – Brillante for a glossy effect, Seta for a matte version and Tempo for an intriguing textured effect – coupled with the luxury small hardware made in the four nuances of matte black (black PVD), yellow gold, rose gold and platinum.
The sunglasses offering is completed with a distinctive range of lenses of a superior optical quality that guarantee outstanding performance, like NXT photochromics and ultra-trendy lenses in multicoloured nylon which pair beautifully with the different shades of marble.
Every Budri Eyewear model encapsulates Italian manufacturing excellence, the precision of the company’s masters of inlay and technological innovation, which characterise production procedures and finishing. A designer object that represents know-how, an age-old art and skill that are so significant as to transcend fashion and trends.
The lenses, the spring hinges, the acetates; every gram of each Hackett Bespoke Sunglass has been carefully crafted using only the finest parts, materials and techniques. Whilst colouration is classical, the styling is never old fashioned. The fit is immaculate, the finishes impeccable; this is great British eyewear at its most authentic.
2015 will see the launch of the first Hackett UTX sunglasses. HSB838 as worn by Jeremy Hackett on the catwalk features graduated faded acetate with a retro nod. With this new innovative UTX technology, Hackett Bespoke Sun offers the finest acetate frames on the market today. 30% lighter than normal and half the thickness of a regular frame, weighing only a few grams meaning more comfort and leaves no marks. .
Introducing new lightweight silhouettes combined with vintage inspired eyeshapes as seen in HSB835, details are authentic with real riveted hinges and metal endpieces. Each handmade frame is fitted with anti reflective reverse coated lenses for a flawless finish..
One thing Hackett prides itself on is never compromising on style, and the new SS15 Bespoke UTX Optical collection is certainly a visual treat. The finest handmade acetates, authentic metal riveted hinges and carefully crafted finishes have been combined to create the new modern classics.
From sandblasted matte finishes layered with gloss interiors to rich honey tortoiseshells and contrasting navy fronts in HEB146, all feature that final flourish with custom Union Jack hidden trims.
Drawing inspiration from timeless tailoring, every piece represents sophistication and luxury while maintaining the very essence of British tradition; vintage styling comes together with classic panto eyeshapes and handcrafted amber and olive horn acetates in HEB148 finished with a touch of gentlemanly charm.
Invest in ageless style with eyewear that’s sure to see you through the season.
