A snappy green acetate frame is the ideal solution to perk up wintery days. Lafont’s soft retro shape with beautiful temple detailing in gradated green tones reflects quiet elegance, with a sculptured frame front for additional distinction. Lafont is exhibiting at OPTI Munich, where the entire collection of optical designs and sunglasses for men, women and children can be seen. www.lafontparis.com www.opti.de JG
A good example of the clever colorations in the autumn/winter acetate release by ic! berlin. Five subdued and shadowy acetate colourways are represented, each one offering a cool earth tone such as flint grey, yellow sand or brown driftwood, as pictured, inspired by driftwood washed up on the beach. Frames can be fitted as opticals or sunglasses with slick matching graduated lens colours. The natural finish of the material is modern and mature.

African beauty and mystery influence L.G.R.’s Sahara sunglasses. The bold character of the design is characterised with superb quality cellulose acetate in Havana brown that extends to the temples, and a black stainless steel lower rim and nose bridge. Tempered mineral glass lenses are an important feature in sunglasses, and the Blue High Definition lenses in Sahara are exceptionally fine quality.

The engineering ethos that is uniquely LINDBERG’s is impeccably evident in style 9807A in lightweight titanium and acetate.
