Colour
The frame/lens color combination is extracted from a one-off puffer jacket made by Marina and Roma. The jacket is made by Roma and features an all-over print of scanned flowers made by Marina. The process started with Marina picking a bouquet of flowers in the steppes of southern Ukraine, near Bessarabia, which she then brought with her across the country to Kyiv. Some time after, in Kyiv, Marina and Roma were facing the onset of the Russian invasion. In Marina’s words; ”It was a period where emotions ran high, and there was a mix of feelings. Forced to stay indoors for many days, the routine of lying down and endlessly scrolling through the news became unbearable. Faced with limited space and a sense of futility, I turned to the scanner and the flowers. The resulting image mirrored the cold and distant reality I felt during those days. Despite being lifeless, the flowers managed to preserve the memories of warmer, sunnier days.”
Lens
The lenses are polarized and feature a base 8 curvature to minimize reflections. The warm rose tint enhance contrast and visual depth, especially against green landscapes and blue skies. All our lenses feature anti-scratch and anti-reflective treatment with 100% UVA/UVB protection.
