Description : designer alyson magee recently presented her new collection of eyeglasses at the silmo's fair in paris. her display was found inside french eye wear designer alain mikli's show. the space was designed with alyson, etienne vallet and jorian briand of trustindesign, with collaborators philippe guyot, claire cassini and glass artist matteo gonet. the light, materials and textures of the showroom had a neutral color palette, bringing attention to the eye wear on display. hand-blown glass bubbles by gonet surrounded each pair of glasses, providing visual interest while still protecting each of the products. shoppers were allowed to pick-up the bubbles and turn them to view the glasses from different angles. as part of their presentation, the large glass spheres could be found floating in shallow pools of water. there was also a second display which suspended each pair of eyeglasses from the ceiling, making them appear as if they were floating in the air. a display where each pair of glasses is individually suspended from the ceiling, another display encases products in glass bubbles. The glass spheres can be picked up by customers and rotated to view the glasses from different angles.....more
