Layered translucent eyewear frames arranged diagonally against a warm neutral background

The silhouette stays familiar. The material changes the mood.

Acetato is a personal reinterpretation of Ray-Ban’s iconic eyewear silhouette, built to move the product into a bolder and more minimal visual space.

The challenge was to translate touch into pixels: acetate under sunlight, polished metal, dark lenses and the small reflections that make material quality feel physical.

01

Transparency holds the color.

Acetate and surface

Warm neutral light passes through the frame instead of sitting on top of it. Edges, thickness and overlapping layers make the material visible.

The silhouette carries the frame.

Minimal product composition

Decoration falls away. A pale studio, dark lenses and a measured angle let the recognizable shape do the work.

Darkness turns polish into signal.

Expressive lighting

Red, green and amber light isolate the product’s edges. The same frame shifts from soft and tactile to graphic and high contrast.
