Actman and Mico take inspiration from art-deco

 Art-deco is the inspiration for the latest Actman and Mico collection to create 'powerful images of expression'.

'Improvisation is a great tool for design and we're fired by the creative forces of previous generations,' said designers Andrew Actman and Janice Mico. 'We want to grab the attention of our more imaginative customers by offering something that has innovative echoes of the past and gives them the opportunity to express their passion for modern times.'

The Actman and Mico collection which comprises 52 styles, each available in three colour choices, includes the 1920s influenced design Cuckoo. Layers of crystal gold acetate on the underside contrast with the solid black outlining the front. The bold eye shape is tempered by the lighter inner outline while the temple is accentuated by two radiant yellow stripes. Sun burst lines down the sides follow the geometric influence and a sweeping curve to the temple tips outlined in black creates impact. The company said the symmetrical and balanced finish celebrated elegance, functionality and a classical retro movement.
