RG0318JM: inspired by the 1920s and the Chrysler Building
Delicate, sinuous with a small, elegant eye shape, a new handmade frame by Rigards references the 1920s and the Art Deco Style. The frame is a special release created in collaboration with Kamonuj, and designed for Juno Mak, the multi-talented actor, singer, and director who has his own namesake brand.
The frame’s ‘modernist’ all-steel form with sleek lines and slim planes gently graduates, from “pseudo-pentagonal on the inner rims to hexagonal on the outer rims.” A striking clip design – produced in ultra light titanium – is inspired by the Art Deco Style and the iconic Chrysler Building, particularly evident in the evocative bridge echoing the tower’s over-scaled yet exquisite architectural details, including the neo-Gothic eagle-head gargoyles, and frieze ornaments shaped like the winged helmet of the Roman deity, Mercury.
Attachable to an eyeglass chain, the sun-clip doubles as a pendant that can be worn three ways (opened, collapsed, or folded), allowing for ample versatility befitting of a style icon. The RG0318JM is now available in 5 distinct textural colours. Find out more at www.rigards.com
