NYC: June 10th 2022.

This is the first of a series of blogs on the design processes that we use at Nouvelle Chicane design studio.  Today we are going to work on some special metals incorporated into our bigger frames we’re gonna start working with copper more stainless and possibly some titanium.  we’re gonna do a lot of cool stuff. Stay tuned. I will update with some post process photographs.

 

 

For you?  Yes, of course!!!  Nouvelle Chicane produces colorful frames upon request and consultation.  We make them all to order. Each color is mixed by hand with our special dyes and sealing techniques in our New York City studio.  Every color is unique, and we only make it once, so it’s yours alone.

When you pair crisp forest green frames with lavender gradient lenses, you realize the extra effort is worth it.  And nobody else will have it.

We use a variety of materials. Everything from polymers and composites to stainless steel. Recently we used brass. Check out the brass inserts in Staxz frames.

These frames were built custom especially for a leading artist in the NYC area. Staxz link to spotify.
Next up. titanium and copper.
