Grand Danois collection pushes the envelope for luxury combinations
Refined, exclusive, and characterised by the finest luxury materials in innovative combinations: the launch of Grand Danois signals an exciting step for the Danish company, where iconic styles from the brand’s IMAGINARY LINES collection are freshly interpreted in luxurious precious metals. The metals, which include gold, ruthenium and palladium, are corrosion-resistant metals that have historically been used in jewellery, currency, and investment. With an emphasis on minimalist and fashion-forward design, the styles are extremely thin and modern, with a precious finish and impressive lightness. Above: The Grand Danois collection was launched in Spring 2022. The titanium styles are plated in gold, ruthenium and palladium – they represent the company’s thinnest titanium styles to date
During production, each frame receives three layers of plating, starting with a layer of 24-carat gold, followed by a gold alloy plating (rose gold as well as traditional), palladium, or ruthenium. The result is an extremely high-quality frame, with a total precious metal plating thickness of 3 microns.
Each exclusive frame in this line is offered in three different precious-plated shiny and mat colours. The women’s styles come in rose gold, luna gold (a more traditional gold colour), and penta grey (realized in the precious metal ruthenium), while men’s styles come in penta grey, palladium (appearing as a radiant silver), and a fusion of gold or penta grey with an exclusive tortoise pattern on the eye rim. The latter, realized by intricate foil transfer technology, is referred to by Orgreen as “a small revolution in the field of precious metal plating”, where one by one, patterned foil is wrapped by hand onto the eye rim of each frame – see model Equator above, with the precious patterned foil).
