nouvelle collection de lunettes WOODONE

WooDone: the new Ulmus collection is riding high!

ULMUS is the name given to the special edition of eyewear covered with leaves, those of the Wych Elm (ulmus glabra). The project does not consist in a new eyewear model but a special treatment, a finish that can be applied to any model in the collection.   

The creative team and manufacturing staff took twelve whole months to identify a tree with suitable leaves. Nothing, in fact, has been left to chance. On the creative front, the first obstacle to surmount was that of finding leaves with sufficiently impacting and clearly visible veins. The manufacturing experts, on the other hand, had to come up with the ideal solution for applying the leaf to the frame without interrupting the pattern traced by the veins and preserving their charm intact.  

It was therefore decided to use the underside of the leaf, where the veins are more prominent, in order to highlight its beauty. A natural glue was chosen to apply the leaf to the eyewear and, likewise, a natural lacquer finish is used to prevent the leaf from drying and changing colour.  The veins of the leaf, whose pattern is uninterrupted from the temple pieces to the frame front, are enhanced by a lacquer finish. The resulting eyewear is truly one of a kind since no leaf can be identical to another.   

Four hours of painstaking work are needed to achieve the final result: a truly impeccable and natural effect.
