Preview NEW BRAND: MYWOODI A new brand of wooden eyewear debuted at Opti. Color called MyWoodi. With MyWoodi, entrepreneurs Klaus Tavella, Thomas Oberegger and Alexander Fischnaller, intend to revolutionize the market for wooden eyewear, making it accessible to everyone. Manufactured in Italy, using wood from around the world, this eye-wear features a clean, ultramodern, linear style that is ultra-modern. There are 12 styles featured in the first collection, (five sun wear and seven vision wear) which are available in six different types of woods and colours. Composed of eight layers of wood, their exciting chromatic nuances are fresh and fashionable. Sixty processing phases, 15 of which are carried out by hand, yield a feather-light product that weighs in at 13 grams (less than half an ounce). An invisible side hinge completes the whole. www.mywoodi.com GLASSES WITH AN EDGE With five primary shapes as the starting point, theo set to work. They tried slicing glasses in half horizontally, and shifting the upper part a little and the Shuffle collection was born. Glasses with a bit of an edge, or perhaps an extra edge. The clever design is not limited to the front of the frames. The earpiece with ends in a round tip that's sliced in two and overlapped. The glasses are playful, light and colourful, according to your taste.
