Making its debut in the latest short film from Oakley's Future Genesis series, Infiniloop takes the concept of infinity and translates it into one of their boldest eyewear silhouettes yet. The dual-material frame combines sculptural elements of titanium and O-Matter, making use of negative space to create the illusion of the lenses floating within the frame.

Infiniloop will be available on July 14th.

British eyewear brand Cubitts opens The Yard, its new HQ and and manufactory in King's Cross London.

Founder Tim Broughton on the new space:

"After years of moving through offices, railway arches and improvised workshops, The Yard is Cubitts’ permanent home. It is a one-of-a-kindmanufactory in central London, bringing spectacle frame making, glazing, design and the full Cubitts team under one roof.

Cubitts has always been rooted in King’s Cross. We began on my kitchen table in Cubitt Street, and have moved through a series of increasinglyunlikely spaces — offices, arches, borrowed corners — but never quite found our home. The Yard at Blundell Street is that home. Just off the Cally,in the shadow of Pentonville Prison, it feels very King’s Cross: a working building for a working part of London.

We’ve stripped away the paint and the lipstick, and let the building speak for itself. The London stock brick, the Victorian stable fabric, the originalcobbled floor, the pine boards, even the 1980s post-modern concrete and purple ducting — all of it is part of the story. We didn’t want to turn it intosomething pristine. We wanted to show it for what it is."

The Yard is now open at 6 Blundell Street in King's Cross, London, and welcomes guests for bespoke consultations, eyewear maintenance, and even spectacle making classes.
