Henry Jullien

Alluring couture styling featuring pure oval forms. Fascination by Henry Jullien, the French luxury spectacles producers, combines timeless colours and materials: gold, palladium and copper, beautifully coordinated with a palette of pearlised materials.
The luxurious Jewellery Edition is proposed in different versions, personalized according to the wishes of the customer, with any number of diamonds (from 2 right up to 28 diamonds in one frame). Frames can also be ordered featuring other precious stones. This is a true investment piece for spectacle connoisseurs and fits superbly into the current season of jewellery that is all about statement and sparkle. www.henry-jullien.com CN

Lindberg 1011

1st June 2012

Lindberg 1000 Acetanium

This collection from the Danish eyewear company Lindberg has always been a very desirable line, merging two materials, acetate and titanium, with beautiful precision. A favourite of the Danish super model Helena Christensen (she wears Lindberg Acetanium 1139), this is a collection for those who value quality, longevity and technically precise contemporary design. Recently, the Lindberg 1000 Acetanium line is featuring new colour proposals including a choice of pretty, soft semi-transparents. Also featured are new matt finishes, a completely new addition for Lindberg that we would like to see more of; they are literally amazing! www.lindberg.com CN

4Rivet 411

1st June 2012

Lunor Eyewear

I have looked at a few hundred luxury frames to get up to speed on what’s available in terms of very high level craftsmanship and quality. I was also looking out for some of the more unique proposals here. This one from Lunor jumped out at me. I love the 4Rivet detail which is functional and aesthetically interesting, and the matt black acetate, which brings this cool classic shape into the 21st century…balanced perfectly with titanium arms. This frame comes with an elegant leather case. Very distinguished and perfect as an everyday luxe style. www.lunor.de CN

M1.6

1st June 2012

KATA

Form meets function with the cutting-edge Kata M1™ technology. A magnet’s natural polarizing properties facilitate a new temple concept with patents pending worldwide. A work of technical beauty, the magnet functions as the unifying force of the frame, effortlessly working as a screwless hinge.

Kata has a long history of pushing the boundaries of technology in eyewear. Building upon its heritage of design and innovation, the M1 technology is fully functional and graceful and illustrates Kata’s guiding ideals of simplicity, innovation, responsibility and authenticity. M1.6, a classic rectangle optical shape, is crafted from handmade acetate and offered in a pleasing range of colours. www.kataeyewear.com CN

REIZ

I first saw these sunglasses in Paris, in a showroom on Place des Vosges last year…..it was an amazingly sunny day, music playing, and the Reiz frames were looking pretty exciting…Surya is one of a collection using graduated colour in an inspired way…the styles in the range, men’s and women’s alike, echo just what the small but fabulous German Reiz brand is all about…individuality, simplicity, serious style, and 100% quality…it is a super idea if you don’t know what to get for your statement piece this season! www.reiz.net CN
