RETRO LOOK WITH JACQUES DURAND PRASLIN


jacques durand praslin retro glasses

If you are into retro and are not afraid to look ... cool, yes, Praslin from Jacques Durand acetate collection is a phenomenal frame, piece of a functional art !


Constructed out of Italian premium cellulose acetate known for its durability and flexibility, the frames are the result of the synergy of goldsmiths’ crafts and the heritage of eyewear manufacturing know-how. Inspired by contemporary art, architecture, and automotive design, Jacques Durand conceives pure, distinctive shapes with distinct outlines. Light and matter are the design playing field — flat frame fronts and clearly defined edges enhance the outline of the shapes.


Each frame is made in Italy. Production is carried out in a workshop and premises in Montecchio Maggiore, Vicenza, Italy. Transparent production is an integral part of his identity. Each frame comes with a manufacturing card detailing the production process. Craftsmen and manufacturers involved in each stage of production as well as the geographic location are listed in order to guarantee traceability.
