FOXBOROUGH, Mass.--Framescape announced the launch of its new Oxygen Collection for the well-dressed, sophisticated eyeglass wearer who requires dependable frames inspired by intelligent engineering.

“The new Oxygen Collection frames are beautiful and a step ahead of other frames by way of their exclusive engineering and design. All frames are completely screwless, including a patented flex-hinge design that allows the consumer or professional to quickly make repairs by hand without costly parts, screws or factory send-outs,” said Chris Maling, CEO of Framescape.

Comprised of nine versatile and contemporary styles, the modern and distinctive Oxygen Collection is designed to provide eyeglass wearers with a complete prescription delivery system that encompasses beauty, simplicity and functionality. The line offers looks and fashion choices to coordinate with dress or mood for day, afternoon or evening and is based on today’s best selling shapes and sizes, including two Monel semi-rimless styles, the Wester and the Zephyr, and seven new Zylonite frames.

The Wester is one of the standout pieces in the line. This unisex style is available in two sizes--46 and 48--and is offered in cerulean, gunmetal sky and onyx. Its highly stylized bridge and temples reflect a serious and fashion-forward outlook for the wearer.

The Oxygen Collection’s Zylonite frames are light and creative, available in colors such as golden topaz, aubergine, cobalt, currant and tawny. The Kataba, one of the collection’s top pieces is offered in cheshire, vintage tortoise, and onyx, while the Khamsin is offered in cinnamon stick, caramel and onyx. Both add a modern sensibility to the collection.

For those who desire something more bold, the Spectra and Inspira are self-assured and serious, in new colors like currant, nova suede, vintage tortoise and golden. Other styles include the Exhale, the Lunation and the Superna, all offering exciting choices in the collection.

Framescape’s Oxygen Collection is priced to the dispenser from $54.90 to $70.
