Combination style added to collection of “small architectures” by the renowned architect
Following their first collaborative collection, the architect Jean Nouvel and French label Morel have worked on a new bold spectacles design where fine materials are combined to achieve a new aesthetic for the distinctive round shape favoured by Nouvel. The combination results in a highly technical product with a flat titanium structure in which a fine circle of colored acetate has been delicately inserted. Above: the new 90012 titanium + acetate model ‘Morel par Jean Nouvel’ – produced in collaboration with the architect
The combination design features acetate with a translucency which resembles crystal, or matte finish acetate, compared to natural granite. The pure spirit of Jean Nouvel’s design is translated through Morel’s eyewear expertise – in the finely crafted, minimalist details and high-tech functionality allowing for absolute comfort.
Red is a recurring colour in the collection. Evoking passion, danger, prosperity, and love, it is a hue that architects regularly use, whether to tell a story or evoke a feeling or reaction. The new combination frame (top) is available in the striking combination of red and black, as well as other distinctive pairings of tortoise/black and blue/black. Find out more at www.morel-france.com
