Front in grilamid, contrasting frames in tortoiseshell acetate and a natty system of changeable lenses. One step ahead of fashion: the trail-blazing spirit will be a feature of collections from the 80s to the present day.

Know more about Monoqool



Monoqool 

Invention, design, fashion


Monoqool was born global. The company is based on Japanese technology and Danish design. It was created in Japan and Denmark by people with a lifetime of experience doing business in both countries. The brand is targeting a global audience and was launched in September 2009 at the annual trade fair SILMO in Paris. Monoqool was established in 2008 by two Danes with a vision of bringing new technology, design and fashion into the modern eyeglass industry. The mission was to use the best from the two worlds: To combine Japanese craftsmanship and technology with Danish design and an innovative mindset. The innovative foundation was to create something new and spectacular. The result was two new concepts: A new signature hinge and a line of designed and fashionable eyeglasses with a three dimensional effect. These two first product lines Helix and Twins were presented at SILMO, where the theme of the annual branch gathering 2009 was “innovation”.

With the spiral hinge in the Helix, the company has not only got itself a significant and visible signature but also presented the industry with a major new invention. The spiral is a patented invention, which changes the whole concept of the eyeglass hinge. HELIX is designed by the Danish design duo, Tools Design, who won more than 200 international design awards and distinctions.
All products are being exclusively produced in Sabae in Fukui Prefecture in Western Japan. Japan is a world leader in the eyeglass industry, and Sabae is one of the largest manufacturing centers of eyeglass frames in Japan building on a sophisticated and highly skilled base of small specialized manufacturers. The product line Twins is based on advanced technical features as well. A two layer frame build in exact angles leaves a 3D impression in various colors and textures. This line is designed by Danish designer Karina Mencke.

Derapage Tests Their Limits..

...With their new line of eyewear. Creating a line of tenacious acetate specs, fitted for both men and women.

Dérapage –with an acute é- is a French term mainly used in car racing (though also in skiing). It describes a rapid way of negotiating a bend for a racing car or motorbike – calling for a mixture of driver panache and maximum reliance on machine performance.

Some skilfully coordinated manoeuvres are required:
• Power transmission, via the accelerator, initiating a controlled drift; this presupposes vehicle power.
• Swerve, a firm flick of the wheel/handlebars.
• Braking, using the front brake without locking the wheel(s), which reduces the grip of the back wheel(s) and causes dérapage.
• A quick change-down as one brakes.

A daring operation even for an expert. Like the Derapage of eyewear: “The look is for those who dare”.

You too may have thought this was crazy at first, but one of the most delightful things about the Helix/NXT Monoqool Eye wear Line from Denmark is that they have eliminated the need for screws completely!

Derapage- Tornado HP


HIGH PROTECTION


Derapage’s sunglass collection Tornado is HP, High Protection, against sunrays. Tornado HP revisits its ‘horizontal’ monoblade profile and incorporates this into the top of the lens field.

The result is a car ‘spoiler’ effect. HP’s 6.0 based lenses are either full tint or graded as well as polarizing nylon fumé or full tint, grey and brown- ideal for cutting out reflection and glare when driving or playing sport.

MAINHATTAN EYEWEAR

MAINHATTAN'S PHILOSOPHY

All the frames of the Mainhattan collection are like the facets of a big metropolis. We intend to make models for people with a special personality, not for averaged. Our collection shows a lot of varieties of design and materials, produced in a high quality to represent a statement of character. The most important thing: Everyone can find his private masterpiece. 

Frankfurt – Mainhattan
The inhabitants of Frankfurt am Main like to compare their skyline with the one of Manhattan, New York and if you ask them where they are coming from, many times they proudly will answer: "We are from MAINhattan!". We take Frankfurts 'pet name' as a representative brand name, because it is able to express the feeling of being in Frankfurt and shows that Frankfurt is an inspiration for us during all the time we are creating our "new german eyewear design". Everyday when we are designing new frames we try to assimilate all the impressions given by the managers, investment bankers, brokers and all the other people living in Frankfurt with a lot of demand on high quality eyewear design.

The Molecube SERIES 900


Preview of the new Molecube sunglasses series with mirror and multilayer lenses. From 15th to 17th of March 2013, Vision Expo NEW YORK, Galleria-Stand G337
