New Koali Eyewear from Morel

"Tulip, one of the world’s most well-known flowers, plays an essential role in any garden and is the inspiration behind the most recent Koali collection. A three-dimensional, aluminum temple design provides lightness with an intense color finish. The openwork temple mimics the fluidity of the plant in an elegant, understated fashion. Temples concealing the spring-hinge system provide optimum wearer comfort." That's the word from Midwest Lens. "Tulip has a comprehensive product selection of nine models, systematically fitted with two-tone temples. Each model features a bright shade complemented and juxtaposed against a more muted or pastel tone." Read more.

New from Koali--Corail 2

Midwest Lens writes, “Koali delves deeper into the mysteries of the ocean with the release of the Corail 2 concept. Like the Corail collection which came before, Corail 2 is inspired by the sea anemone. Differing from the original concept, Corail 2 features straight temples which imitate branches of the anemone while triple-layered acetate provides movement and volume. A fresh take has been applied to the deliberately visible metal core inside the temple which evokes the structure of coral reef. Corail 2 is available with two-toned metal pressed fronts which provide similar depth to the triple-layered acetate fronts. Corail 2 is available in six shapes (three acetate models and three metal models) and is offered in a palette of four color combinations per model.” Read more.

New from Koali

"The pitcher plant, also known as Nepenthe plant, is a mysterious carnivorous, tropical plant, with a vase shape. This beautiful and very unique plant is the inspiration behind Koali’s most recent concept." That's the start of a Midwest Lens post. "The frame temple evokes the silhouette and movement of the pitcher plant with two delicately worked stainless steel strands which are interlaced in a two-toned spiral. The clean temple lines set off the handcrafted acetate fronts of the collection’s rimmed and semi-rimless models." Read more.

Koali Offers New Collection

"Koali takes the new collection to the watery depths of the ocean with frames inspired by coral reef and more particularly the anemone," notes Eye Surf. "The Coral collection imitates the waving branches of the anemone. Frame fronts and temples are given both volume and movement through triple-layered acetate. The deliberately visible metal core inside the temple evokes the structure of a coral reef. Coral is available in three shapes (two acetate models and one combination frame) and is offered in a palette of four color combinations per model." Read more.

Koali Releases Lotus Eyewear

"Sacred in Egypt and respected by Buddhists for thousands of years, the delicate Lotus flower is the inspiration behind Koali’s latest concept. The soft shape and fluid lines of the lotus flower add visual interest to elegant temples. The base of the flower is produced in openwork to emphasize lightness," according to Eye Surf. "The Lotus concept is offered in a palette of four colors per model. Discreet colors blend harmoniously with lacquer applied to the heart of the flower, for a hint of brightness. Mauves, reds, browns, and blues work to emphasize the femininity of the Lotus collection." Read more.

Koali Eyewear--50s Front and Temples of a Bird

Midwest Lens reports that "the new Koali concept has fun with different eras. While the fronts evoke the 50′s, the temples are shaped like the wings of this delicate little bird, known as “mésange” in French. The decorative effect on the temples is created by the stylized movement of feathers worked around the metal and continuing to the front. Technically the representation is perfect: the transparent material is overmoulded around the subtly graduated stainless steel decorative element, ensuring stylistic finish and depth. The color pallet for these models reflect powdered tones, worked in subtle hues of vintage rose, beige, purple mauve, coral red, maroon glacé and grey (six new colors)." Read more.
