New from Mondottica is the 2019 eyewear collections from cult Italian motorcycle manufacturer, Ducati.
The company said styles in the new collections were designed and engineered in line with the same meticulous standards as Ducati’s motorcycles and incorporated design language such as suspension fork-inspired hinges, high tech componentry and timeless eyewear silhouettes.
Ophthalmic style DA3017 is an exercise in achieving balanced form and function. The large metal pilot shape sports a double nose bridge and layered metal construction. The gun metal colouration continues around the temple lug and meets the signature Ducati suspension fork hinge – which features contrasting red components that compress and rebound just like a damper. The flexible TR90 temples sport top mounted branding and are designed to flexible enough to fit within the lining of motorcycle helmets.
Optician recently sat down with Ducati Eyewear brand ambassador and Factory Ducati Moto GP rider Andrea Dovizioso to talk about his views on eyewear and his input into the design of the collection. The article will appear in the November 15 issue.
