NAONED STÊR Eyewear Collection
From the Shores of Breton
The NAONED STÊR collection takes its Brittany inspiration to new heights, exemplifying its signature acetate slash metal design with a slew of sleek and vibrant models, in which traditional features are complemented and enhanced with whimsical signs of modernity. Striving to convey the peculiar vibe of their homeland in every line and curve, the French brand seems to blend the region's rich, unhurried historical heritage and the pulsating spirit of nowadays. And that's more than just a fancy way to describe their work. Many of the models in the line are named after picturesque Breton beaches, and indeed, you kind of sense that vibe of a windswept shoreline in their smooth, finely sculpted silhouettes. It's no coincidence that NAONED considers their eyewear to be a metaphorical ticket to Brittany, and the STÊR collection suggests a lovely company on this cultural journey.
Taking pride in its sustainable approach, NAONED makes its glasses from bio-acetate, a material that is not only durable in a remarkably lightweight way and so skin-friendly you barely feel wearing it at all, but also fully degradable. The company colors the acetate on its own, using dyes of mineral origin, yet another step taken to preserve Mother Nature. Another material it widely relies on is metal. But not just any metal - it's the state-of-the-art bronze, monel, and nickel silver blends that go into production. Each component is coated with hypoallergenic varnish - a thoughtful finishing touch to tick another box in the comfort section. With all these benefits incorporated in the brand's STÊR collection, you're looking at eyewear that seems to have everything a modern, style-savvy, and eco-conscious wearer might desire.
Design Highlights and Special Features
- Classic Shapes with a Modern Twist: The NAONED STÊR collection kicks off with basic square and round shapes, but just wait, these staples of eyewear classic get some funky contemporary updates and a total color overhaul. Every model feels fresh and unique, playful to just the right degree while also retaining a touch of timeless nobility. Nothing extra - well, maybe except for color, but that's a good thing.
- Acetate Rims + Metal Arms: In its STÊR glasses, NAONED pioneers an innovative design, including rims made of silky acetate and temples crafted from lightweight metal alloys. This is quite a combo that brings not only endurance but also eye-catching contrast, thoroughly modern and undeniably artistic. The lightweight nature of both materials keeps you comfortable for hours on end, while the play on textures gives the frames a visual (and even tactile, too) appeal.
- Two Acetate Plates in One Frame: Another distinctive design feature the company incorporates in its STÊR collection is stacking two acetate plates into a single frame. Talk about depth and intrigue! This unexpected solution creates a striking collage effect along the browline - if you're one of those who thinks accessories are meant to stand out rather than blend in, that's your sure shot. Such a conspicuous layered look immediately gives your eyewear a distinctive character for a style that's unmistakably yours.
- Double-Frame Effect: Imagine wearing glasses within glasses—that's much what some models from NAONED's STÊR line look like. Layering two contours onto each other, they create extra volume and personality that's hard to miss even in a busy street crowd. Besides, that allows for the opportunity to use double the color for a double dose of vibrancy to wink at everyday dullness.
- Juicy Colors and Bold Contrasts: The collection offers an explosion of colorways for each model, ranging from gentle, dreamlike shades to high-voltage, attention-grabbing hues. There’s a choice for every mood: some feature plain, solid colors that instantly stand out from the homogenous flow of faces that streams past each of us day after day, while others mix shades, wow us with contrasts, and indulge in imaginative palettes.
Standout Styles: Layers of Vibrancy
The models presented in the NAONED STÊR collection dare conventional eyewear in a subtle, elegant way. Opening the line is the FOGEO, its classic square design ever so slightly smoothed out along the inner contour. With most of the acetate frame cast in the dark end of the spectrum, same as temple tips, the metal arms are dyed in bright colors, with a little bit of overlay on the hinges. And of course, the gracefully curved bridge adds the final touch of elegance to this sleek, charming, and surely memorable model.
Next up is the ROZED, showcasing NAONED's iconic two-plate concept. Taking the timeless round shape as the basis, the brand adds something that might seem like a tiny tweak, but it makes all the difference. We're talking about those little corners peeking out of the main frame and creating a vivid color contrast and adding a cat-eyeish touch to the whole silhouette. If you don't mind a bit of intrigue, this model is crafted for your accessory box.
A similar trick is used in the MINAOUED model. Here the smooth roundness of the acetate frame is amplified with taller than usual rim tops, giving an endearing big-eye impression that leaves you zero chance to resist their retro allure. Just as all other glasses in the line, these ones offer quite a range of color options, whether you decide to go with two contrasting colors or an exuberant abstract pattern.
Finally, the striking double-frame design is exemplified by the AON, where the brightly colored inner frame is encased in a black outer contour. The recognizable panto appearance takes a modern twist with a bold color contrast, the flattened rim tops and architectural inner corners polishing the silhouette to make it ultra sleek, ultramodern, and downright compelling. Aside from being available in solid colors, this model comes with vibrant Havana accents as well, also echoed in the temple tips.
