Marchon Eyewear, Inc. and Zeiss have announced a win of the Red Dot Award: Design Concept 2024 in the category of Ready For Market – Watches, Jewellery and Eyewear
The Red Dot Design Award is a prestigious international annual design competition for product and industrial design, brand and communication design and design concepts. This year, The Red Dot: Best of the Best has been awarded to VisionClip, a Zeiss frame designed by Marchon Eyewear, for its groundbreaking design. VisionClip is part of the Zeiss Fall/Winter 2024 eyewear collection, and is the visionary expression of Zeiss’ dynamism for new, empowered vision experiences, the companies said.
VisionClip (ZS24157LPMAG-SET) is a full-rim titanium frame in a navigator shape, featuring a double bridge construction complemented with thin, high-tech beta titanium temples complete with laser cut engineering, making them lightweight, flexible and durable with a refined look. The frame includes an easy-to-apply magnetic clip-on piece in Ultem® resin with Zeiss LightPro Technology® sun lenses, which provide excellent contrast and depth perception, allowing clear readability of digital screens.
The Ultem® resin clip offers flexibility and elasticity coupled with resistance to deformation, impact and high heat. Rounding out the design, the clip features an embedded side shield to increase stability, providing versatility and allowing the wearer to switch easily between a sun and optical style.
Gabriele Bonapersona, chief brand officer at Marchon Eyewear, Inc., said, “We are incredibly proud to accept this prestigious award. This outstanding achievement marks an unforgettable milestone in the history of the successful Marchon and Zeiss partnership. The Red Dot award attributed to VisionClip clearly witnesses the quality of work that both teams have been passionately infusing into this project.”
Jesper Wiegandt, chief marketing officer at Zeiss Vision Care, said, “The design of the VisionClip reflects both innovation and high-quality standards—the very values on which the collaboration of Marchon and Zeiss is based. We feel particularly honored that one of the favorite fruits of our collaboration is now being honored with a Red Dot Award. As partners, we are both committed to create products that bring real consumer benefits: Innovative lenses in perfect combination with premium frames; to provide excellent vision and style through timelessly modern design. This award will serve as a strong inspiration to continuously pursue excellence along this path.”
