ProDesign Denmark launches its first sunglass collection with the objective of “mixing fashion and technology.” Targeted to consumers who are concerned about style and function, the line features highquality polarized lenses (a thin polarized film is sandwiched between two very thin lenses) combined with the latest in cutting-edge design. Four of the styles are equipped with mineral glass lenses and five styles with NXT lenses. Lenses are scratch and impact-resistant and have an antiglare treatment. Frames are acetate and offered in five or six colors. The sunglasses are Rxable and are generally unisex with some distinctive masculine and feminine designs.
