Precious

1st May 2014

Tarian +

Parisian eyewear designer Jérémy Tarian conducts Master Classes for selected students at HEAD-Genève (Geneva University of Art and Design/Switzerland). The Workshop’s theme requires students to use acetate as if it were a piece of jewellery to create a frame. Under Jérémy’s wise guidance, the glamorous winning concept was awarded to Camille Dols with Precious, an acetate frame embellished with metal cut-outs that evoke the shape of cut gemstones. There is a Limited Edition of only 75 pieces per colour worldwide. This is Tarian’s first collaboration with HEAD-Genève for Tarian +. www.jeremytarian.com JG

RG0002

1st May 2014

Rigards

History and tradition blend creatively in sunglasses by Ti Kwa for Rigards. Inspired by the 1950’s and Japanese salarymen, RG0002 features the signature Sanjuro finish on the upper browline. Sanjuro is a textured surface treatment that is entirely hand-finished, and is a nod to Tsubaki Sanjuro, the honorable samurai-recluse from the Akira Kurosawa masterpiece. Each frame is a one-off, with hours upon hours spent hand polishing the frames to a distinctive matte finish that exudes richness and personality. www.rigards.com JG
