Henau Playful Eyewear Collection

Playing with the Classics
Henau is generally known for its minimalistic, shape-bare, almost rigorous designs. But that doesn't mean that every once in a while even these detail-precise, geometry-obsessed maniacs can't go south and launch a line of eyeglasses like the brand's Playful collection. Staying true to Henau's laconic, exacting style, this new colorful bunch puts a whole new, creative, and daring spin on the company's cherished 'less is more' aesthetic. Ready to witness the magic?
As evidenced by its name, the new collection intends to play—with color, shape, and first of all, you. Cause a little bit of play is just what we need in our busy, busy world, don't you think? Henau suggests you set your serious poise aside for a moment and indulge in this splash of intriguing styles and light-minded palettes, all of them coming, for sure, in the brand's signature quality. With designs streamlined down to the last hinge yet totally unhinged in conceptual terms, you're looking at a Henau collection that can really make your day, just like everyone else's around you.
Highlights of the Playful Collection
- Orlono: With a reimagined panto silhouette, the Orlono brings you a boldly lucid acetate frame in equally bold colorways, led by uncompromising pink. The neat, small-sized round rims are joined by a whimsically shaped bridge, and that whimsy is echoed in the angular, flattened tops of each circle. Finished up with distinctive end pieces, the Orlono is sure to make your gaze a little bit more impactful and your day a little bit brighter.
- M 3D: Next up are your daily rectangle frame with a volume twist. At first sight, these are yet another basic Henau pair of glasses, slightly rounded for a more graceful silhouette and solidly stylish in their minimalist excellence. But that's until you turn your head, and there is this inner ring of a sort clearly seen to offset the main outline, because it's also of a contrasting color. Moreover, the temples are one color on the outside and the other color on the inside, creating quite an interesting interplay of those, plus the distinct 3D feel (hence the model's name). Designed for those with a knack for the subtle kind of daring (and, of course, sustainability since it's from acetate, too), this model has all the potential to become your favorite.
- Aro: Craving some real pop of color? It's high time you check out Henau's Aro, all classic and round except for this minimal, not even exactly cat-eyeish break in the perfect flow of lines in the corner of its wildly hued frame. Combining shades of brown, mysterious dark blue, and transparent light blue, this model will instantly single you out without ever coming across as garish, unbalanced, or pretentious. Plus, the temples are plain black, grounding this whole riot of color, so you're good to go wherever you go.
- Panono: Continuing the neatness thread, here comes Panono, a frame that is equally classic in its narrow oval form factor and evidently modern in its layered, contrast-spruced design. The thin, graceful outer rims are complemented by thicker inner rims that are most distinct at the bridge and temples. Yet because these inner rims are also transparent, they don't add any visual weight to the glasses, giving them some strange, bulky sort of grace instead.
- Noa: Finally, we can't leave without paying our respects to something indeed striking—the Noa glasses. This futuristic-looking, innovatively designed acetate frame is hard to really pin down in terms of shape. Is it some kind of new-age, angular cat-eye or a streamlined, smoothed-out shield? Whatever you choose it to be, this model is surely made to impress. Available in several deep, hazy colors along with some memorable patterns, the Noa is a sure shot for anyone who longs for what they call 'a killer look.'
Innovative, Bold, Stylish
With such a curious lineup on the menu, Henau's Playful collection also brings you its inimitable quality. Namely, the super durable, ultra-lightweight acetate build and all the small tweaks we love them so much for, like skin-friendly nose pads, adjustable elements, screwless hinges, and such. All of the above might seem like not such a big deal at first, but only until you realize the several hundred dollar glasses you just bought are just a little bit too loose or too tight. Or until you discover one of those nasty screws actually fell out, just when you don't have time to get it fixed.
By taking care of every single detail, no matter how vital or secondary it is (although for Henau, there are no secondary details), the brand's Playful line of eyeglasses gives us everything. Style that may wander off Henau's usual mathematically immaculate path yet always somehow imperceptibly returns into the solid trajectory of the classics. Comfort that is as enduring as it is weightless. And the goodness of knowing you're into a sustainable product, reducing all the waste and detrimental effect the glasses you're having on your nose right now might have had on our environment if it hadn't been for Henau. So hey, let's come out and play with this amazing collection—check it out and choose your pair!
