The Northern Swedish eyewear brand launches a line inspired by literary works
In true innovative spirit, Swedish eyewear brand EOE Eyewear has created their new designs to reflect literary works in original ways. The collection features select silhouettes adorned with quotations from texts by six renowned northern writers, weaving the storytelling into the designs. Each frame is inspired by natural forms and earthy colour palettes, with exquisite tones such as pine and amethyst, light bark and smoke.
The collection is divided into two series, a base collection reflecting timeless elegance with a minimalist spirit, and a limited special edition which showcases inlays and sculpted words and quotations from the featured writers. The result is a collection aesthetic which invites the wearer to see the world through the lens of literature unique to the geographical location where EOE Eyewear has its origins.

Balaliden in the Novel Frames series is a tribute to Stina Stoor, an author from the far north of Sweden, whose lyrical prose is rich with local dialect. Stoor was born and raised in the village of Balaliden which is in Vasterbotten country (Bjurholm Municipality). The words “Se! Se här! Se Då!” appear on the temples in gold (translating loosely “yes yes see that…) adding a glamorous and at the same time surprising final touch.
The SKELLEFTEÅ Author model is inspired by the words of Stina Jackson with the quotation: “Ljuset. Det stack och brann och slet i honom” in English translation, “The light. It stung and burned and tore at him…” The lettering is audacious and immediately noticeable like a jewellery embellishment that becomes a statement of design.
