The 1396 invokes the spirit of David Hockney; the seminal post-modernist painter and renowned round-glasses enthusiast. This style is reminiscent of the artists’ favourite Cutler and Gross frame, the now archived 0736.

The eccentricity of this frame is translated throughout its design, from the compass eight-point star pins to its perfectly round sun lenses in colour washes that rightfully challenge the more classic acetate colourways – as is the method of any iconoclast.
