Grey Ant
The innovative Kemp by Grey Ant is another gem by Grant Krajecki and codesigner Natalie Levy. Creators of the original concept of cut-off lenses, this time the duo have worked on a totally new concept that exposes the riveted hinge on the exterior of the frame as a decorative feature. It’s a simple, luxurious statement that elevates a classic look into something ingenious and very desirable. Made in Japan, and featuring Zeiss sun lenses, these elegant sunnies are now available at www.greyant.com. CN
GO1S
Hapter
An alluring, distinguished double bridge characterises HAPTER’S striking sunglass design GO1S from the Prime Line txt1001 Collection. Crafted in 100% cotton from the renowned Cerruti Woolen Mills 1881 in Italy, the angular shape and smaller proportions are sleek and minimal. The lenses are special too – ultra resistant Carl Zeiss nylor lenses with five layers of anti-reflection provide protection from potentially damaging sun rays. Eric Balzan and Mirko Forti at HAPTER further demonstrate their skills at artisan eyewear. www.hapter.it JG
