Rye & Lye’s Latest Immagine 98 collection has a literary touch

The cornerstone of each Rye & Lye collection is a modern take with a retro feel. The Immagine 98 collection combines the distinctive details of vintage forms with features and characteristics that are up-to-date and state-of-the-art. Leather, wood and titanium take centre stage, with a literary touch, as each model’s name is inspired by a literary author.

Featured is the Ungaretti model made entirely in metal. It features an oversize slightly butterfly-shape front frame and distinctive leather stitching that runs along the whole length of the temples. Montale and Leopardi feature metal frames with matching leather front and earpiece and acetate temples. 5-axis flex hinges have been adopted as a technical feature. Ask for your other favourite authors, Petrarca and Foscolo that interpret titanium or the Manzoni model in warm wood.
