Materials: Tenite™ cellulosics and brushed aluminum inserts with molded elastomer.
Designer: Pontus Wahlgren.

ENSEMBLE – The properties of cellulosic plastics lend themselves to the creation of coordinating accessories. Fashion and technology are blended, taking technology into eyewear and adding fashion materials to personal electronics. Cellulosic plastics can be extruded in multicolored plates and polished to a high gloss that brings out deep saturation of colors.

Materials/Process: Extruded Tenite™ cellulosics.
Designer: Thomas Overthun.

VOGUE – A modern-day approach to the veil, Vogue features transparent fabric sealed between clear layers of copolyester. Eastman developed the lamination technology used to encapsulate fabric in copolyester sheet.

Materials/Process: Eastar™ copolyester and fabric lamination.
Designer: Markus Diebel.

PLAY – Kids (even big kids) can create glasses for themselves; their friends; their stuffed animals; whoever. Parts snap together and can be traded in the playground (or office). They can also be embellished with graphics or textures. The vacuum-formed display package itself resembles an art project and is made of the same material as the frames.

Materials/Process: Injection-molded DuraStar™ polymer.
Designer: Kara Johnson.

EXTREME - Inspired by the blurring of lines between sports gear and club wear; outdoor and indoor; day and night. A robust elastomer molding acts as the frame, with vacuum-formed copolyester shells for the lens, side-protection and closure in back, which also serves as stylized head protection for added safety on the slopes – or the dance floor. The layered tint, fading toward the frame, creates an illusion of floating lenses.

Materials/Process: Vacuum-formed, printed Eastar™ copolyester with elastomer frames.
Designer: Rico Zorkendorfer.

BESPOKE – For those who don't run with the herd. Bespoke is the eyewear equivalent to a visit to the tailor – nothing off the peg here. This concept uses a laminating technique unique to cellulosic plastics to create a material that combines layers of cellulosics, wood and copper. The wood layer represents cellulosics' humble origins. The copper gains a patina as time passes, reflecting the facial characteristics we earn with age.

Materials/Process: Laminated Tenite™ cellulosics, copper and wood.
Designer: Martin Bone
