To See and be Seen

To kick-off this year's summer season, Rodenstock is presenting a total of 17 correction spectacles for ladies and men. They include ten models in the Contemporary series, five in the Classic and two in the Children's series. In the new collection, the traditional company focuses on the current, hip design: reduced, linear shapes combined with mature technical solutions and modern colours. Clear contours, a refined new material mix and perfect functionality round out the multifaceted styling.

Panto - the Retro Star Made of Titanium
The "retro" theme is at the heart of the "Contemporary" series. The designers at Rodenstock were inspired by more than one hundred years of experience in the Munich workshops and their rich tradition, and revived a model that existed in a similar form in the last century. The striking highlight of this renaissance is the R 2288 panto spectacles with the decorative, rounded styling that suites both men and women. The spectacles are captivating with a high-quality, ultralight titanium acetate material combination, and fascinating due to their unmistakeable look: a modern retro design with Windsor ring. There is a choice of four colour combinations: havana/black and havana/gold as well as blue/gun and olive/gun. The panto frame is available in two sizes thereby also effectively accenting more slender faces.
The more angular retro model R 2289 can also be ordered in two sizes. The frame is available in the colour duos of black/grey, gold/havana, silver/grey and brown/black, and is particularly ideal for stronger prescriptions.

Modern and Minimalist
The second product line in the "Contemporary" segment is focused on modern minimalism coupled with a material-intensive look. This special effect comes about through the different colours that change on the inside and outside of the metal frame. This play of colours - which may be tone-in-tone or contrasts, depending on your taste - is also characteristic of the R 2290, technically refined men's spectacles made of brushed stainless steel. Flexible sides and decorative openings on the design hinges emphasise the high technical competence of Rodenstock. The modern Nylor variation R 2291 is also convincing due to its minimalist design.
The R 5253 stands out with its intensive colours. It is a men's frame with multicolour acetate on the front and a high-quality metal end on the front of the sides.

Plastic and Metal - the New Alliance
Lightness, transparency, decorative silhouettes and an elegant material mix characterise the third product line of the "Contemporary" collection. The R 5258 men's spectacles in a classical Carrée shape and the mellower unisex version R 5259 combine a plastic front with sophisticated metal sides. The same applies to the feminine correction spectacles R 5260, which are offered in various colour versions. Customers can choose from grey, brown, lilac, blue and red. The Nylor R 2284 ladies' spectacles score with refinement. Its purist design lives from modern colour contrasts that stand out in a striking way, especially on the acetate sides. The spectacles are available in red, black, gold, lilac and gun. Ladies' spectacles R 2285 in the cool sheet look are captivating with their fascinating play of colour. While the front captivates with metal, the outside of the acetate sides are covered with three changing layers of colour. A particular eye-catcher is that one of the colours is repeated effectively on the inside of the sides.

In the "Classic" segment, Rodenstock presents the R 2269, a strong men's concept that creates a flair through striking openings on the lugs and sides. This classical and simultaneously decorative type also provides a very good view as a Nylor version R 2270 and rimless spectacles R 2271.

The new models of the stylishly elegant collection from Rodenstock can be ordered effective immediately.
