Made in Normandy, the new ophthalmic frames uphold the original concepts of dynamic colour and geometric shapes of the Struktur collections
Thierry Bonhomme, designer and Jean-François Lufeaux bring manufacturing know-how to their collection at Struktur, through the expertise of the artisans at Solf Production, a traditional French eyewear producer which first opened in 1966. Through ongoing traditions of craftsmanship and French heritage, the factory is able to offer a guarantee of French quality – ‘Origine France Garantie’ – a certification and endorsement that assures the traceability and origin of their eyewear product with complete transparency. Above: a frame that caught our eye at Silmo – The Artist by Struktur in matt white acetate with titanium temples. The graphic frame shape is surprisingly lightweight – the colour choice for the design is broad, and includes yellow, matt graphite and a trendy bright pink
The Commander is typical of the Struktur styles with a masculine character. The ‘sculpted’ or bevelled effect brings a distinctive look to the frame when worn, while carefully shaped temples make it especially comfortable if worn throughout the day.
All Struktur frames are made by SOLF Production, a traditional eyewear factory based in Évreux, Normandy. The factory is working hard to highlight their responsible production processes, and are reusing waste to produce other small accessories such as key rings whilst also introducing new pounches and cleaning cloths which are made from recycled microfibre. Struktur Eyewear will exhibit at the upcoming fairs including Opti, Mido and 100% Optical. See the full collection of Struktur frames at www.struktur-eyewear.fr
