collection de lunettes BLACKFIN SILMO 2017

BLACKFIN – AVANT-PREMIÈRE SILMO 2017

Agordo, 21 août 2017 – Blackfin anticipe l’automne avec une nouvelle collection où l’ADN de la marque prend vie dans des montures d’une grande personnalité : des lignes définies par des codes de style qui racontent l’histoire de cette marque de lunettes en titane, une histoire de passion, de qualité, de personnes et de lieux, résumée dans le concept de neomadeinitaly qui représente l’identité de l’entreprise.
Parmi les nouveautés, la coloration des faces, comme dans le modèle Pleasant Bay BF797 : cette monture de vue est la première à avoir une subdivision particulière de la couleur à 45° sur la face. Un design net et rigoureux sur la partie haute et de grands verres à la ligne adoucie créent un look très actuel et tendance. Les larges portions brillantes sur les cercles sont mises en évidence par les couleurs originales jaune soufre ou blanc nuage avec des détails en titane brillant, et noir mat avec des détails gris aile de mouette.
Les lunettes Blackfin sont entièrement conçues, dessinées et produites en Italie par Blackfin.
Si le Fabriqué en Italie est un point ferme, le neomadeinitaly est notre point fort. L’héritage du passé et le respect pour la beauté qui nous entoure gouvernent notre éthique. Toutes les lunettes Blackfin sont réalisées avec le Titane le plus pur au monde à travers un processus de production qui, pour nous, est un véritable rite.

collection de lunettes BUDRI EYEWEAR 2016

“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.

nouvelle collection de lunettes COCON SONG

COCO SONG COLLECTION SOLEIL : LE GOÛT D’UN ORNEMENT PRÉCIEUX

Mai 2015 – La nouvelle collection de lunettes de soleil signée Coco Song, la ligne d’Area98 consacrée aux personnes qui savent s’exprimer à travers leur style charmeur, est un hymne à la sensualité et à l’élégance féminine.

Inspirée de l’opulence étincelante des anciens empires d’Orient, cette collection comprend quatre modèles entièrement faits main, qui proposent les éléments iconiques de la marque. Ainsi, au fil des ornements en soie raffinée, des détails précieux, des matières rares et des pierres dures, les personnes qui portent ces lunettes redécouvrent le plaisir de voyager dans l’espace et dans le temps à destination de contrées lointaines. Franches et tranchées, souvent uniques, les couleurs apportent une touche de dynamisme et d’épaisseur aux cercles, alors que les ornements sur les branches sont rehaussés, donnant ainsi des sens profonds et remplis de mystère aux montures.

Un phénix stylisé se pose délicatement sur la monture papillon du modèle BOBO COOL aux verres fumés, alors que l’on aperçoit une plume impalpable tombant gracieusement sur la surface des branches.
Un jeu de couleurs contrastantes souligne la personnalité du modèle NIGHTS LIGHTS, à la forme ample et carrée, et aux verres fumés qui reprennent la couleur du cercle. Une décoration en métal de goût oriental et le détail léger de la plume sur les branches viennent compléter la monture. Ces éléments précieux sont également présents dans le modèle ROSE ROOM, dont le cercle œil de chat est souligné par des décorations raffinées qui semblent avoir été faites au ciselet. Les verres teintés noirs mettent quant à eux en valeur la couleur vive de la monture.

Une grecque en métal émaillé parcourt la partie supérieure du cercle et les branches du modèle AFTER HOURS. Une touche de couleur sur la monture, raffinée et féminine, exprime le charme d’une femme mystérieuse, dont le regard se cache derrière des verres foncés.

nouvelle collection de lunettes WOODONE

WooDone: the new Ulmus collection is riding high!
ULMUS is the name given to the special edition of eyewear covered with leaves, those of the Wych Elm (ulmus glabra). The project does not consist in a new eyewear model but a special treatment, a finish that can be applied to any model in the collection.
The creative team and manufacturing staff took twelve whole months to identify a tree with suitable leaves. Nothing, in fact, has been left to chance. On the creative front, the first obstacle to surmount was that of finding leaves with sufficiently impacting and clearly visible veins. The manufacturing experts, on the other hand, had to come up with the ideal solution for applying the leaf to the frame without interrupting the pattern traced by the veins and preserving their charm intact.
It was therefore decided to use the underside of the leaf, where the veins are more prominent, in order to highlight its beauty. A natural glue was chosen to apply the leaf to the eyewear and, likewise, a natural lacquer finish is used to prevent the leaf from drying and changing colour. The veins of the leaf, whose pattern is uninterrupted from the temple pieces to the frame front, are enhanced by a lacquer finish. The resulting eyewear is truly one of a kind since no leaf can be identical to another.
Four hours of painstaking work are needed to achieve the final result: a truly impeccable and natural effect.
