FLEXON’S NEW
PIVOTAL FORCE SERIES
The unique concept of the Flexon pivotal
force series, a brand of Marchon Eyewear,
Inc., is centred on the functionality and
design of the hinge mechanism. The rubber-coated temple mimics the movement
of a lever as it pivots around the axis point
and interlocks with the open end-piece.
Inspired by fundamental, simple, and
compound machines in the design
process, the integration of the end-piece
and temple creates fluid movement and
a sleek aesthetic, which is portrayed in
each frame. With modified rectangular
silhouettes, the frames in this series
offer sophisticated style with superior
durability. www.marchon.com
