Lyon by Plume Paris Eyewear A Best Image Optical eyewear designer had this to say about designing the frame: Concept “A group of us (eyewear designers) traveled to France for inspiration on our next set of frames to debut as part of the fall 2012 collection. We researched three cities where we wanted to draw our focus from, one being the beautiful city of Lyon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Honestly speaking, inspiration did not come as fast as I thought it would and believe it or not, it wasn’t because of lack of ideas, it was completely the opposite – too many ideas to sort through so I couldn’t really pinpoint what to define our next design on. One thing was for sure, we wanted to introduce a frame that had a unique design that differentiated it from the rest of our frames in our collection. We had challenged ourselves with the idea that the new Plume Paris Fall Collection was going to be the best frames we have ever come out with.” Colors “The city of Lyon is filled with renaissance-era masterpieces. From beautiful wall murals to century old buildings decorated with gargoyles and angels there is so much to see in Lyon. The dominant color theme runs in the tangerine...

Kada, a stainless steel frame, inspired by the city of Nice is one of the most romantic places in France. Earth color tones were used on the Kada frame, colors that can be found through the French Riviera with hints of bright color throughout many flower markets in the city. Moreover, a soft rubber-like finish was given to enhance the look and feel of this modern designed frame. Lyon inspired by the city with the same name is a uniquely designed frame taking form with sharp angles just like those found in various architectural landmarks throughout the city. Lyon takes on versatility by using two-tone color combinations to better highlight its unique frame shape. Seine is a two tone stainless steel frame inspired by the...
