DITA – Arise – Black/yellow gold

A chic take on a playful 60’s classic: A subtle yet whimsical cat-eye rendered in an ultra-light technical frame. Starlets from the 60’s were just a starting point for the look of Arise, but the real story is in the techniques and technology involved in creating elegance of the silhouette and the innovation of materials used. Classically cat-eye styled frames use thick laminate acetate or injection molded frames to create the sculptural form of the design. For a more refined and architectural approach we chose milled and sculpted titanium throughout. The front or “face” of the frame was designed with a bolder titanium silhouette, which translates the attitude and character of the style in more future-facing and refined way. While the delicate temples contrast the bold face with a lightness only achieved by using among the finest Japanese titanium. The interplay of metal-on-metal titanium combinations replace the expected acetate versions and offer extra durability, lightness, and fit + finish unusual for this category of frame.

DITA – Avec – Mate Black White

Balancing technical mastery with artistic grace, Avec’s elegant acetate skin is cleverly sculpted to reveal a glimpse of its own intricate internal machinery. Inspired by the refinement of Renaissance statues, which were painstakingly composed to ensure structural integrity, designers forged the subtle curvature and balance of Avec’s acetate exterior in the mode of a functional sculpture. Rather than conceal the frame’s metal core, as is customary in rectangular frames, designers grooved a notch in the acetate just below the temple connection, creating a flex for added comfort and transforming Avec’s foundation into a design feature in its own right. This elegant feature invites deeper understanding of the precision-milled interior architecture that rests at the core of each Dita frame, ensuring longevity and durability. Avec is finished with a host of carefully considered details, including a hidden rim lock the frame is available both in optical and sun lenses.
