Danish eyewear brand Fleye Copenhagen announces Details, a new collection which continues to focus on materials and the small details of the frame designs. To develop the line, the design team zoomed in on the smallest details to play with the elements that make the collection daring in its own way. Annette Estø, Head of Marketing and Design says: “Fleye Copenhagen has always worked with an immense focus. Our previous collection Materials was a testament to that and we are staying dedicated to that with our Details collection. Frames from the Details collection dare a little more. This comes to expression in the smallest details such as the shapes, colours, materials and some detailing that will be revealed when the frames are worn.” The details are incorporated into all aspects of the new frames, and are not all visible immediately. Some are discovered through touch, some are just there for the wearer, and others will come to life when the frame is worn, the design team explains.
