Seeing sounds

The Design Eyewear Group has revealed a new campaign for Face a Face and launched new styles by its Nifties brand.

In the new campaign, Face a Face explores the perceptual phenomenon of synaesthesia – the ability to hear colour or see sound.

Head of design at the French eyewear brand, Pascal Jaulent, said: “We have found it very intriguing and fascinating to explore the many dimensions of this ability.”

The result from Face a Face is the creation of its new Bocca Mania collection, which has been designed with colours and materials that contrast.

The two new frames have thin golden sides and a sculpted butterfly front, with tips shaped like a shoe.

Light and thin

Light and thin metal styles have been added to the Design Eyewear Group’s Nifties range, which have a contemporary look with reference to 1950s elegance, according to the eyewear brand.

Brand manager for Nifties, Annette Jensen, said: “We wanted to create a design with thin lines with a lot of character.”

Available in two shapes in four colour options each, the frames have a thin metal front that is combined with thin acetate sides.
