Creativity, avant-garde and contemporaneity are the keywords that define the models in the X-Ide collection. A perfect example is the Kandinsky model: rectangular, but with rounded corners, in bold acetate. Sensuous neon hues and acetate accentuate the contrast between fronts that are embellished with special details – from marbled effect to transparent, by way of striated and solid colours.

Findings from a recently published empirical peer reviewed study conducted by the Université de Montréal (UdeM) unveils that the advanced technology Topology, used by New Look Vision Group, is the leading technology-supported purchasing method online.
Topology is a technology that uses the latest advances in 3D facial scanning and augmented reality to enable customers to take the necessary ultra-precise measurements needed to produce high-quality glasses.
The article, which has been published in the Journal Optometry and Vision Science, surveyed 30 people over 50 years old to test the generally more complex progressive prescriptions. It compared how three online eyewear retailers’ technology-based services (New Look powered by Topology and two major online eyewear retailers) fare against the UdeM School of Optometry store. The research parameters primarily included the accuracy of the measurement, fitting and comfort upon delivery, and overall satisfaction.
“I am thrilled that an independent study confirms that New Look Vision Group’s app, which was conceived from a partnership with Topology, is the most accurate on the market. This represents years of extensive testing and a significant advance that will give confidence to people wishing to buy prescription glasses online, while providing an alternative solution with the same quality as in-store purchases.” says Jean-Michel Maltais, Senior Vice President Omnichannel, New Look Vision Group.
“People are increasingly looking to online methods of shopping, and the app represents a new type of interaction with your mobile phone. It uses the latest 3D technology to scan 30,000 data points on a person’s face, taking ultra-precise measurements. This level of precision ensures a high-touch consumer experience, custom-fit frames (customer’s choice) and optimal comfort”, says Dr. Schwirtz, Optometrist and Vice President Innovation within the New Look Vision Group.
New Look Vision Group’s app powered by Topology, is available from its banners New Look, IRIS and Greiche & Scaff.

GÖTTI BIONIC – INSPIRED BY NATURE
The idea is simple: a sustainable eyewear collection based on reduction and simplification.
GÖTTI BIONIC glasses are crafted while enabling sustainable and resource-saving processes in keeping with the ethos of “slow eyewear.”
The glasses are printed in 3D from a single material based on the seeds of the castor bean plant. This bio-based polyamide offers greater flexibility compared to other 3D-printed materials, creating the opportunity for new shapes and forms. A new hinge, inspired by human ball-and-socket joints, is the reason behind the new collection’s name: BIONIC.
GÖTTI BIONIC frames, with their delicate finesse and minimal presence, can impress yet do not lose strength and consistency. They are the ultimate in technical precision and aesthetic refinement: GÖTTI’s typical inspiration.
