— On the Sablon

Drawn for a client who wanted a frame no one would notice, and everyone did.

The first Sablon was cut for a client who, in the studio's notes, wanted a frame no one would notice, and everyone did. We built the opposite of what he'd worn before.

The result favours the oval line the studio keeps returning to: heavier where the eye expects weight, and light everywhere the skin meets the frame. It is cut in sand acetate, 18g finished, and fitted with a 5-barrel brass hinge.
