Factory 900
11th January 2014 If you haven’t seen this name already, then take a look. The super creative Factory 900 hailing from Japan have particular technical aptitude when it comes to voluminous plastic, and this translates into some out-of-the-ordinary colourful designs.
The round style with floating lens (above) fa-1111 won the Silmo d’Or in the Sunglasses Category last September, but alongside that, there are plenty of others that break the mould. Factory 900 has produced several avantgarde show pieces including a collaboration with Aoyama Kogaku and an unusual multicoloured stained glass window mask design, first launched in 2011.
We took a look at the label’s full collection recently, and were pleased to see a growing number of wearable styles featured throughout, including the two-tone full rim fa 1120 (above), which also comes in crystal with bright tone combinations. In 2013, the Belgian eyewear label THEO and Factory 900 created two models together – theo by Factory 900 – for more on this project visit:
