Preview Spring UPDATE WOODONE SHAPES NATURE The South Tyrol Brand has a new limited edition project. WooDone eyewear presents a new creative concept: frames covered with leaves, those of the Wych Elm (ulmus glabra). ULMUS is the name given to this special limited edition. The modified rectangular silhouette of KLiiK Denmark’s style K-534 combines signature clean lines and semi-matte colour for a distinctly modern look. Available in size 50-18-140, this semi-rimless stainless steel frame features contrasting metallic accents on the temples and end pieces. With vibrant colour combinations of fuchsia/burgundy, purple/turquoise, grey/white and cobalt/purple, this frame is a perfect spring update for any dispensary. For more information on KLiiK, contact 1-800-361-6220 or visit www.kliik.com. It was decided to use the underside of the leaf, where the veins are more prominent, in order to highlight its beauty. Natural glue was chosen to apply the leaf to the eyewear and, likewise, a natural lacquer finish to prevent the leaf from drying and changing colour. The result is one-of-akind eyewear. Highly skilled local craftsmen apply the leaves to the wooden surfaces with great care. Four hours of work are needed to achieve the final result: a truly impeccable and natural effect. WooDone frames are made using materials from South Tyrol-certified trees: acacia, cherry, walnut and dark ash is the woodspecies chosen for this purpose. A special lacquer finish ensures that it is easy to clean, non-allergenic and weatherised. For more information visit www.woodone.it.
