A new limited edition ‘art piece’ with a striking structure and ‘floating’ lens effect
With temples akin to a two-pronged tuning fork, the new Aalto sunglasses by FACE A FACE are characterised by a striking double hinge design, an exclusive feature they say required particular technical innovation and precision. By balancing their craftsmanship and technological capabilities, the resulting design is imposing and glamorous, with the lines of the frame wrapping curvaceously around the face. Above: model wears the Aalto which references music – in the unusual structure of the ‘tuning fork’ temple and the ‘musical’ name of the frame
FACE A FACE is always bold and innovative with colour, and combinations are explored with flair in the Aalto design, where a broad choice of pairings include black and patterned black acetate, white and patterned ‘tortoise’ acetate and bright pink with ‘tortoise’ patterned acetate.
Details are also interesting with the temples featuring tiny rivets which match a gold core in the elegant acetate, adding to the finesse of the shape, that is both structural and graphic.
The frames are produced exclusively in Italy by hand and come in two versions, one with a panto front and a second with a more oversized square eye shape. For more information about the new collection 2022, visit www.faceaface-paris.com
