Craighill introduces a look at its new Eyewear stand, which has a sculptural form and themes inspired by Brutalist structures. The stand is made from cast metal materials -- this ensures that it provides a sturdy weight and security, feeling substantial.

The glasses lean into the stand in a relaxed way, almost as if it is reclining as the minimal extension is where it holds up the nose-shaped eyewear stand. It mimics the function of a nose to the eyewear without looking like a nose itself. The indirect visual is brilliant and true to the style of Craighill. There is also a brass version which will patina over time, adding to its own individual character.
