MATERIAL MATTERS
Prodesign Denmark’s new models 1737-1743 spotlight Italian acetate with a focus on craftsmanship. The three-dimensional depth of the material reveals a mix of classic natural tones and vivid transparent colors. Prodesign has made a lamination at the middle of the temple, to match the block acetate material of the front, with clean sharp tones of extruded acetate on the tips. The shapes are kept classic to make these popular styles for a variety of wearers.
