CASINOLA "EDDIE" - Sun

CASINOLA | Native Sons : EDDIE 7 mm collaboration

Custom frame with laser etched lens, engraved frame and temple, custom collab case.

Casinola began as a way to connect during the pandemic, with friends gathering on a video app to play poker and enjoy each other’s company. Having created an immersive online experience ie piping in custom playlists and sound bytes, it was a way to connect unlike any other platform. It soon developed into a virtual poker room that hosted weekly tournaments and nightly cash games.

When Casinola founder Eddie Cruz met artist Jonas Wood in 2020, they naturally began collaborating on the World Series of Art Poker (WSOAP), Wood’s own high-profile tournament concept. Much like Casinola’s online experience, WSOAP brings together artists who enjoy poker and poker players who enjoy art, for an evening no better described as “beautiful chaos”. A day where artists showcase both talent on and off the felt

The EDDIE (based on the  FITZ) is a beautiful full-face square wellington shape with a dipped nose bridge. A very strong presence to the look.

The top bridge is a subtle sweeping line skived beautifully down to the squared temple connections with vertical double hex rivets.

The temple starts bold and square at the connection and tapers down smoothly to the ear area.

This collection is developed with the idea of sculpted yet fit frames that are not heavy, made of 7mm acetate.

Handmade in Sabae at #madeinthelight our factory using exclusively Japanese Takiron cotton based acetate, 16K gold plated core wires and custom hardware.
