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.
