Morel by Jean Nouvel
As surprising as it is unexpected, the Morel by Jean Nouvel collaboration defies preconceptions by bringing together two distant worlds: architecture and eyewear. On the one hand, Morel, a French eyewear manufacturer since 1880 and recognized worldwide for its know-how. On the other hand, Jean Nouvel, an internationally renowned contemporary architect, with achievements as exceptional as they are complex.
An architect's view of a telescope? As surprising as it is unexpected, the Morel by Jean Nouvel collaboration defies preconceptions by bringing together two distant worlds.
On the one hand, Morel, a French eyewear manufacturer since 1880, is recognized worldwide for its know-how. A family that has been designing eyewear for 4 generations. Each generation has learned from the previous ones, while bringing its own entrepreneurial vision. On the other hand, Jean Nouvel, a contemporary architect of international renown, with achievements as exceptional as they are complex, a harmonious blend of curves and straight lines. His most famous buildings are the Louvre in Abu Dhabi, the 5353 tower in New York and the National Museum in Qatar.
The marriage of the 2? A true exercise in style that stems from a common reflection on the structure, materials, lines and attitudes, in order to offer a premium product, without concession: simple glasses, with direct lines, made of acetate or metal.
