VANNI Exclusive Acetate

Acetate is considered the most precious and sophisticated material: it’s the only plastic substance not derived from petroleum; it comes from natural origins, extracted from tufts of cotton.
The exclusive block acetate the VANNI collections are realised in is like a work of art, a mix of craftsmanship and millimetric precision.
Unique and yet recognisable. Like a painter that creates colours and spreads them on canvas, VANNI invents materials and transforms them into frames.

Digital micro square enlarges its volume, as if it were under a magnifying glass, evolving into a material, three-dimensional composition, made up of colourful pearly cubes on a base of transparent acetate: the result is a serie of original glasses, vibrant yet elegant, in true VANNI fashion. 

Just like lightning bolts in the sky or an artist’s impetuous sketches on a canvas, VANNI’s new exclusive acetate block, “Flash”, makes its explosive entrance into the world of eyewear. On a base of dark shades, interrupting the monochrome, illuminating it.

An evolution of VANNI's Pixel exclusive acetate with minimal texture. A tight grid of squared particles, tiny colored cubes create a structure with a pearly weave, which changes luminosity according to exposure to light, refracting it in iridescent reflections.

DAMA is the exclusive acetate inspired by damask fabrics from which it takes its pearly luster effect, reminiscent of the opulence of Renaissance dresses. The mother-of-pearl effect creates a stunning play of light and shadow

The design of MACRO exclusive acetate reproduces a molecular macro vision, photographing its structure and colouring it in. A construction of organic material where the microscopic cells govern its chemical composition

WIRED is a metaphor for the myriad of connections that make up our lives: entertwined coloured lines accentuated by the transparent crystal acetate. WIRED is testament to our complex bonds and networks; material and intangible, relationships between people and races

Raster - a term in common use for every graphic designer in the 21st century - is the inspiration for the acetate texture linked to the digital contemporary: a grid of lines or dots by which a television image or bitmap is displayed

MAPS is a web of lines chasing each other like routes on a city plan, an urban geography living in colour

A pattern inspired by Tangram, the ancient Chinese puzzle made up of a square divided into seven different geometrical shapes, each in a different colour.
Legend dictates that “a Tangram champion is a champion of talent and wisdom”. 

The pixel: the basic unit of every digital image, and the inspiration for VANNI’s collection of bold exclusive acetate made of little coloure cubes

A pattern that slices the material into tiny parts and compacts the thousand pearly twin-tone slivers against a transparent backdropLegend dictates that “a Tangram champion is a champion of talent and wisdom”

The first exclusive acetate design by VANNI Style Centre is FLAME: a billboard for the original patterns that will follow trhough the years. Like a burst of flame, a celebration of matter and colour
