CLEVERLY
COSMOPOLITAN
Clever cosmopolitans have long
known: lightness is beautiful and
space is pure luxury. This particular
esthetic is what characterizes the
ultra-fine “Urban LITE”. As the
thinnest full-rim plastic eyewear
on the market, it sets new benchmarks while providing the greatest
wearing comfort possible. Ideal for
an urban lifestyle that chooses its
own boundaries.
Behind the freedom granted by
the ultralight full-rim plastic eyewear
lies intelligent know-how plus many
years of experience. One milestone
is the extreme minimalism of the
high-tech SPX+ plastic with its great
resiliency and stability. The screwless
designer hinge (snap hinge) appears
to be transformed into a jeweled ornament on the SPX+ side part. That is
especially true for the visible hinge
part in the front of the center section:
It looks like a metallic inlay.
“The Urban LITE is a blend of technically unique solutions and harmonious
design – full-rim eyewear that has
been reduced to the max, thanks to
the characteristics o f SPX+,” is how
designer Gerhard Fuchs succinctly
describes it.
The Silhouette “Urban LITE“ is
available in men’s, women’s, and
unisex models in 20 fashionable
colours – from vibrant Havana to
nautically cool Turquoise – thus
plunging into the turbulent flair of
brilliant metropolises. They are
available in four new cosmopolitan
lens shapes. The weight of the rims:
4.1 grams. www.silhouette.com
