TRIOS Price $140
(#55-3 Round & 55-2 Oval) Oval shown with Silver Finish)
While vacationing in Asia, one of our designers
happened upon a marketplace where a local craftsman was selling
metal birdcages. Lovely as these items were, what fascinated
him most were the innovative hinges on the doors of the cages.
The thin metal wire of the cage wound around the door like
a beautiful serpent, without a screw, clip or fastener to
hold it in place. The simplicity of the design, combined with
the beauty of the tightly coiled metal, inspired the hinges
on our new Trios.
Trios combine the understated elegance of the
new hinge design with the sleek, streamlined gleaming metals
of our high-end rimless models. In our version, the hinge
bends under the lens mount, forming a naturally integrated
"catch" which keeps the temple at the proper angle when the
frames are open. Then, in a reverse of the Asian design, the
temple circles above, then through the tightly wound rope-like
coils of the lens mount. The resulting structure and shape
subtly suggests ornamentation, but closer examination reveals
the genius of the design. Trios certainly are frames that
can be admired both on and off your face, as we in Focusers'
Marketing Department have often been caught idly moving the
temples back and forth, admiring the hinge for the beauty
of it's form and the elegance of how it performs it's function.
The name Trios itself is inspired by a musical term, and is
suggestive of the harmony of design and materials embodied
by these frames.
 Trios
look great on the faces of stylish men and women. The premium
stainless steel metals that we use allow the wearer to shape
and adjust the temples to follow the contours of their head,
for maximum comfort. As with our other high-end rimless frames,
the temples are capped with our exclusive metal spheres, for
a secure fit as you curl them about your ears. We offer Trios
in gold plate or silver finish applied over premium stainless
steel.
