Aerodynamic Inspiration, Technical Precision
The STREAMLINE collection represents the way BRETT's eyewear combines technical aesthetics and craftsmanship. The goal of this collection was to capture the essence of aerodynamic design through the elegance of eyewear. The collection takes design cues from the Streamline Moderne movement, which impacted the design of industry and automobiles in the early 20th century. The design of the collection emphasizes flowing lines, proportionate balance, and technical innovation. The frames do not use an abundance of ornamentation to create an attractive product; they are instead focused on creating interest through the form of the metal frame itself and subtle mechanical detailing. The collection of eyewear is created using a timeless design philosophy.
The collection's focus on the construction and finishing of the optical frame reflects the importance placed on attention to detail in the collection. The frames are manufactured using precision-engineered metal components, which are crafted into streamlined, aerodynamic shapes that represent the concepts of speed and precision. The combination of smooth lines, clean edges, and light structures is also used in the collection's design to produce an overall effect of visual excitement, while still being built to be comfortable and durable. BRETT's versatility in meeting the needs of both the modern consumer and the classic engineering consumer enables the company's collection of eyewear to provide an overall effect of style that enhances both the individual and the contemporary design.
