“Arabeschi”,
the
new
collection
presented
by
the
designer
Piero
Massaro
at
this
year’s
Mido
Eyewear
Show
in
Milan,
is
an
exercise
in
contemporary
style.
Its initial inspiration came from various of Francis Bacon’s extraordinary portraits, but gradually the designer
focused on creating acetate frames where only the boldly contrasting colours echo the works of the Irish
painter.
Tortuous capriciously colourful strings and streaks swim inside transparent spaces, endowing the entire
collection with a graceful and vivacious tone.
All the models have a shiny base, in order to bring out the translucent brilliance of its colours.
However –typical of this designer’s love of contrasting tactile and visual interplays – various little details on the
front add opaque or brushed effects.
As always, the collection comes in a limited and numbered edition (one hundred pieces for each model and
colour).
