Dylan Thomas · Forged construction
- Eye size
- 55 mm
Horizontal bloodwood grain carries a deep red line across the Dylan Thomas brow. Diagonal splices of vertical-grain cedar interrupt that flow at the front corners and descend from the hinge toward the back of each temple.
Bloodwood · Naturally red
Bloodwood grows in tropical America, including the Amazon basin and the Guianas, within a native range extending from Panama to Brazil. Its rich red is a natural heartwood color, and some specimens are dense enough to sink in water. Here, that red is set against the warmer cedar accents and matte steel below.
Cedar · A change of grain
North American cedar supplies the contrasting grain: upright lines within angled strips. The change in grain direction makes each splice legible against the horizontal bloodwood.
Forged construction: cotton-fiber and wood-pulp composite with a matte stainless-steel chassis that slides in and bolts in place.
