Atelier 2 Glasses

This is a truly rare vintage 1976 eyeglass frame produced at the Atelier studio in Austria, in 1976. High quality and hand-finished, this frame has a plastic frame front with metal hinges bolted to plastic. It features an unusual hinge design, and big round lens shape which was the forerunner of the mid-1980's Jackie O. style. This frame would look terrific as sunglasses. The frame front is crystal clear in the center, with gradient coloring to purple at the sides of the frame front. Atelier was an Austrian design studio owned by the Anger family in Linz. Atelier later closed, and the Angers continued their eyewear business with Silhouette and Optyl. High quality, hand finished. No warrantee.
