TWOFACE

TWO FACE eyewears are characterized by duality: a clean look and a character brought out by the rugged materiality. The front side of the frame is a line-like design that only thin edges of the metal sheet are seen. While the profile is a surface-like design that emphasizes the 6mm width of the frame. In order to enhance the materiality of the frame, design is made simple and geometrical. The first eyewear model, was created by emphasizing the horizontal- and-vertical relationship between the frame and the limbs, where the partly vertically cut lens are also a significant characteristic.
