Preview SPECTACLE EYEWORKS Spectacle Eyeworks Inc. has unveiled three new mixed-material styles to their vast Spectacle Eyeworks house collection. The combination of stainless steel and acetate on each design creates a union that integrates the bold and exciting with a divine sense of harmonic grace. From the masculine stance of Doug with its oxidized steel brow piece, the curved sensu- ality of Yvette and the daring rustic metal Bijou complete with acetate accents above the eye line, this trio defies convention. Yvette Each style is available in eight radiantly refined colour combinations, including me- tallic blue with black and rust with honey.

David, Greta, Bill and Erin – each named after well- Bill known environmental activists – are the latest styles by Neubau Eyewear, distributed in Canada by Canadi- an Optical Supply Co. The frames are made using a 100 per cent bio-based material, natural3D, and 3D printing process, making the styles lighter, more comfortable and the perfect fit. Forming the basis of natural3D is an oil extracted from the seeds of the castor oil plant. The resulting powder is merged together layer by layer by a laser during the 3D printing process, with any excess material being re- used for additional prints. As neubau eyewear has developed a procedure for smoothing and sealing the surface of the natural3D models, they are particularly skin-friendly and their colours last even longer. The 3D temples have an integrated titanium needle, which allows the glasses to be easily adjusted in just a few steps. For more information, visit: neubau-eyewear.com Optical Prism | April 2020 11
