A stunning rendition of the round classic frame – made in Japan
TVR® OPT has revisited the stylish allure of small round glasses that dated back to the 1920s for its latest TVR®532 Classic Circular collection, released this Autumn / Winter 2022 in celebration of the brand’s 10th Anniversary. A popular shape in the early 20th Century, round glasses remain a desirable shape to wear. They are one of the top shapes of this year, and will continue to be into 2023.
Combining functionality and style in a bold design aesthetic, TVR® OPT took to the drawing board inspired by three vintage frames from the 1960s archived away in its Sabae factory in Japan. From one piece of history to another and reviving the past for the present, the company combined inspiration from the stylish details of all three to achieve what they call “the perfect design” for current times.
Timeless and always iconic, circular glasses have been a staple statement look for well-known architects and artists, including Chinese-American architect, I.M. Pei, Swiss/French architect, Le Corbusier and English painter and print maker, David Hockney. The round design is considered one of the most classic shapes of eyeglasses of all time, dating back to the days when the rounded lenses were only used for corrective purposes (not fashion!). Round glasses are an excellent complement for all face shapes, thanks to their curvature, symmetry and styles, intellectual overtones. Find out more at www.tvropt.eu and www.tvropt.com
