Silhouette: One for the purists

Optical illusions, art installations and architecture informed the creation of Silhouette’s Purist collection of ultra-lightweight and rimless spectacles.

The Austrian brand said when its new frames were viewed from above, the concave and convex surfaces worked together to form a whole, minimalist appearance.

Titanium temples can be adjusted easily to fit and have a flowing feel, which Silhouette compared to the feather-light design of its Titan Minimal Art collection.

Components include an integrated snap hinge and colour options, such as ‘vigorous berry’ and ‘courageous white’, are available in matte or translucent finishes on its SPX+ material.

Lens shapes include a butterfly look for women and hexagonal designs for men.
