— On the Ondine

Drawn for a client who wanted the weight of the frame to sit where the brow does.

The first Ondine was cut for a client who, in the studio's notes, wanted the weight of the frame to sit where the brow does. We built the opposite of what he'd worn before.

The result favours the browline line the studio keeps returning to: heavier where the eye expects weight, and light everywhere the skin meets the frame. It is cut in ink tortoise, 24g finished, and fitted with a core-wire titanium hinge.
