Thierry Lasry’s SLIPPERY 365 explores geometric abstraction through eyewear

Thierry Lasry’s SLIPPERY 365 emerges as an exercise in controlled geometry, a pair of round sunglasses that draws its visual language from the modular logic of construction itself. The silhouette is deceptively simple yet visually intricate, the frame rendered in translucent grey acetate alongside solid navy blue, materials that catch light differently and create a subtle dialogue across the face.

The name signals playfulness alongside precision. LEGO’s interlocking blocks speak to modularity and assembly, ideas that extend to how Lasry considers proportion and balance within the frame’s perfect circle. The translucent grey allows light to pass through, softening the geometry slightly, whilst the navy reads as solid anchor points. It is the kind of restraint that defines considered design, where every choice of material and tone serves the whole.

Base 2 grey sun lenses complete the composition, grounding the translucent and solid elements in a coherent palette. The lens tint is warm enough to feel approachable, cool enough to feel intentional. Handcrafted in Italy, each pair bears the hallmarks of Lasry’s commitment to acetate work: the precision in the hinge, the weight of the frame, the finish at the bridge.

SLIPPERY 365 reads as neither fully sculptural nor purely functional. It occupies the space between, where eyewear becomes an object worth studying, worth wearing, worth understanding as something more than a tool. The round silhouette itself has a kindness to it, softening the face whilst the colour blocking and geometric ideation keeps the overall effect from becoming merely soft or nostalgic. Instead it feels contemporary, architectural, precise.

This is Thierry Lasry at its core: French design sensibility married to Italian craftsmanship, where the frame itself becomes the statement.
