Vanni and Derapage at “Out of Mido” 2013

Icons of City and MoleCube in a temple to design April 11 through 14 Rather than Out of Mido, the event that opens in Milan on April 11, should be called inside MIDO given that it is a close-up of a significant selection of the best designer eyewear brands. It is the first time that a sector event has been opened to the eyes of a city that has always been a symbol of international design, in the creative atmosphere of "Fuori Salone".   VANNI and DERAPAGE are the brands by Nico-design, the Turin company set up in 1987 as the evolution of significant entrepreneurial experience in the automotive sector.   In twenty-five years the two brands have become established on the global designer eyewear market. The company's strong points are the innovative study of materials and constructions, frame assembly methods, and stylistic research into the creation of products with original designs, homage paid by Made in Italy to everything that is beautiful and well made.   Among its other new products, VANNI has taken to Out of Mido Icons of Italy eyewear that has the outline of Turin, Milan, Florence or Rome screen-printed on the temples, and the Pixel collection created exclusively from the new block acetate.   DERAPAGE presents MoleCube, a collection with a highly technological component and which introduces an innovative, patented hinge.
