The Eclipse is part of Struktur’s new Equilibrio concept which first launched in September – the panto shape has been developed by means of a detailed study of vintage panto styles
The new concept features frames created according to the key direction of the French label which fuses craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology and refined design details. Crafted from 8mm cellulose acetate, the acetate parts of each frame are machined to create the unique shape and subsequently polished in barrels for a week to create a brilliant glossy finish. A second phase of milling is then performed to create the delicate bevels in the back and along the sides of the frames, the work that adds a sculptural look with a luminous finish.

In the Equilibrio collection, all styles feature sculpted end pieces and nose pads and a narrow tailored stainless steel temple. The combination of acetate and metal achieves a comfortable balance between strength and lightness – viewed from the front, the beveled structure of the hinges aligns naturally with the temples. The Eclipse frame is available in several trend-focused colours (‘pink pink’, caramel mustard, poppy field, and rustic blue) and is one of six models in this new collection. Struktur frames are handmade in Normandy, France. Find out more about the lightweight Equilibrio models at www.struktur-eyewear.fr
