A Collection Inspired by the Power of Color

With “COLOUR LAB / OVER LAP,” FACE À FACE explores a new dimension of optical design by applying the concept of “color sculpture.” Inspired by the textile world and multilayer printing techniques, the brand plays with chromatic intersections, where two shades overlap to reveal a third.

This approach transforms each pair of glasses into a true visual experiment, where transparency, light, and reflections interact to create vibrant and unexpected hues.

A color palette balancing softness and intensity

FACE À FACE unveils a range of contrasting colors that balance softness and intensity:

  • Sky blue, candy pink, and Very Peri lilac for an airy, digital touch.
  • Fuchsia and burnt orange, bold shades full of energy.
  • Sunset-inspired gradients, blending pink and basil green in a refined harmony.

This subtle yet striking color play gives each model a strong visual identity, perfect for those who love to express their style with originality.

Iconic models with a sculptural design

Among the standout pieces of “COLOUR LAB / OVER LAP,” some frames stand out for their unique approach to volume and textures:

  • HYPNO: Sunglasses with extra-wide temples, creating a bold, contemporary look. A riveted hinge and a floating temple core add an impressive technical touch.

Made from high-quality acetate, OFFSET blends architectural elegance with optimal comfort, making it perfect for those seeking a distinctly graphic aesthetic.
