Minimalist Spectacles
February 19th, 2007 by admin
As a fan of minimalist design I have admired the spectacles from the Austrian company Silhouette. For me true minimal design is elegance.
Specifically I was drawn to the Titan Minimal Art which weigh less than 3 paperclips [without lenses]. By using a flexible form of titanium they managed to remove the need for hinges and each lens is secured by only 4 spigots making them completely rimless.
Now Silhouette have gone one better with the design of the Titan Wave. With these frames the lens only needs to be secured by two spigots. This design also minimizes the build up of dirt around the lens as they are completely open.
