Specimen of Lace, William Henry Fox Talbot circa 1839-1845, National Gallery of Canada
An indication of good design is the achievement of a critical balance between form and negative space. This rule applies as well to the production of lace as it does to the manufacturing of eyewear.
l.a. Eyeworks has filled a niche of sorts with a collection that has left things out. Using state of the art techniques to perforate stainless steel, this innovated company has created delicate patterns by combining open space with dense texture.
Because they reference a contemporary trend of using perforated steel in industrial design and architecture, these frames are truly of the moment.
