Amédée: The Retro Style

Thursday, April 19 2018 | 00 h 00 min | News

In 1880, Jules Morel designed his very first collection of glasses in the heart of the Jura. They were exceptional frames, and the inspiration for the Marius Morel 1880 collection. Discover the elegance of these early designs with our Amédée concept.

The Amédée temple, nose and groove are crafted entirely of stainless steel. The titanium front is joined to the front end of the groove. The contrast between the two metals, their finishes and colours is subtly reminiscent of the combination frames of the 1950s. But with this new style, there are no imposing bridges. The layering of the metals results in a very fine, light frame.

The Amédée’s thin frame conceals numerous carefully-crafted details that impart a sophisticated style. The beaded groove creates elegant definition and catches the light. The finish on the front has a soft feel reminiscent of rubber and makes the frames even more comfortable.

These exceptional retro frames are available in four shapes: Little ovals, rounded shapes, pantos, and very thin rectangles.

The Amédée is available in metallic tones of gold, silver or black.
