Prodesign’s CENSUR frames have captured attention with their avant-garde aesthetic and bold approach to eyewear. As part of the DANCE collection, this collaboration between Danish and French designers brings together creativity and innovation. The standout feature of CENSUR is its structural bar across the lenses, inspired by a rectangular censor bar, symbolizing a break from traditional eyewear design. This unique feature challenges wearers to view the world from a new perspective.
The Design Philosophy Behind CENSUR
The DANCE collection, combining influences from Denmark and France, emphasizes unrestricted creative freedom. This design initiative led to the creation of CENSUR, a pair of frames that push the boundaries of eyewear with a striking and sophisticated silhouette. The rectangular beam across the lenses adds a layer of mystery, evoking curiosity and inviting wearers to experience a different visual journey.
CENSUR is available in two models: CENSUR 1 and CENSUR 2. The first model, featuring a round shape and vibrant colors like bright purple, is designed with a smaller fit, making it well-suited to a feminine face. The second model, CENSUR 2, offers a more unisex square shape and incorporates the bold bar element in a futuristic yet refined manner. Both models feature color options that reflect contemporary trends, including black, shiny silver, and striking hues seen at SILMO 2024.
Recognition at SILMO 2024
The CENSUR frames were honored with the prestigious Silmo d’Or award in the Sunglasses – Eyewear Designer category at the SILMO Paris 2024 trade show. This accolade highlights the frames’ bold departure from conventional design, a testament to the collaborative spirit between the Prodesign and Face a Face teams. The judges praised the unique fusion of style and concept, underscoring the innovation behind the DANCE collection.
CENSUR frames are perfect for eyewear enthusiasts who appreciate a blend of artistic design and functional eyewear. With their bold yet refined aesthetic, they offer something unique to collectors and wearers looking for eyewear that tells a story. The collaboration between Danish and French design sensibilities results in a product that stands out in any collection, representing the meeting of two creative worlds.
