ANDY WOLF x MOTEL A MIIO
Paraiso by ANDY WOLF x MOTEL A MIIO - A limited interior collection
Austrian independent eyewear brand ANDY WOLF launches the joint collection PARAISO together with tableware label MOTEL A MIIO. Together, the two brands have designed a mini collection consisting of two ceramic pieces and two matching sunglasses in two colors each.
The collection finds its inspiration in a paradisiacal spot: a blooming garden. The light of dawn, the play of colors in the flowers, the smell of fresh earth - who wouldn't want to immerse themselves in this paradise? The Capsule Collection Paraiso designed by Andy Wolf x Motel A Miio captures the light, the colors, the earth and has two delightful ceramic products and two matching sunglasses. This is also reflected in the choice of name: ADAM (unisex) means something like red earth or soil, ALBA (feminine) means white in Latin - Bolus Alba = white clay. The color world is also reflected in the name, so Alba means morning glow in Spanish, reminiscent of the soft color gradients on frames and ceramics.
Both - ceramics and eyewear - should relate to each other and be in harmony. As in nature, one conditions the other, the boundaries between eyewear and interior blur. The result is two special ceramic pieces: the key piece is the vase xx, in which the lens shape of ALBA was adopted for the shapely outer contour. Looking at the organic shape of the vase from above, it gives the perfect lens shape of the sunglasses lens. For the xx tray, the lens of the ADAM unisex frame was adopted, giving the tray its shape. The xx vase has fresh, overlapping color accents, while the xx tray plays with color highlights on the edge of the tray. Both pieces were handmade and painted in Portugal, each product is unique.
The two sunglasses ADAM and ALBA are a pair like from the paradisiacal Garden of Eden. ADAM is a classic unisex canto frame, ALBA is feminine, organically shaped and oversized. Deliberately placed facets give both glasses depth and 3- dimensionality - ADAM has a subtle, slightly slanted inner facet all around the lens, reminiscent of the edge of a tablet. ALBA contrasts this with a deep facet and a material thickness of 10 mm acetate, making it the partner of the deep vase. The pair glows in floral colors: a summery vertical pink-grey gradient, a honey brown, a classic beige- brown and a luminous brown-blue gradient with a yellow accent.
The eyewear is limited to 500 pieces per color and style worldwide. Both companies stand for sustainability and local production, so it was especially important for the cooperation that both glasses and ceramics are 100% locally handmade in Austria and Portugal respectively.
The Paraiso collection will be available for purchase in the stores and online store of Motel A Miio motelamiio.com and ANDY WOLF as well as at selected partners.
