The Frame Affair in New York City is a unique gathering place for independent designers and visionary artisans. Curated like a true art gallery, it showcases the most innovative collections in the eyewear industry. Here, creativity and excellence come together to create an immersive experience that allows visitors to connect directly with the designers and fully appreciate the stories and passion behind each creation.
In this prestigious setting, the RIGEL model by X-Ide New Generation received a major tribute, standing out as one of the most innovative creations showcased at The Frame Affair – a true hub for independent eyewear. The award celebrates innovation, design and creativity, core values that have always been at the heart of the X-Ide philosophy.
“We are incredibly proud of this recognition,” says Susi Tabacchi, General Manager of Immagine98, the Cadore-based company behind the X-Ide New Generation brand. “With this collection, we wanted to give X-Ide an even bolder and more innovative identity, taking it into a futuristic and contemporary dimension. The success of RIGEL confirms that our vision resonates internationally.”
RIGEL is the collection’s star model – the seventh, just like the seventh brightest star in the sky from which it takes its name, located in the constellation of Orion. Frequently referenced in cyberpunk literature as a symbol of exploration and planetary colonisation, Rigel evokes a fearless and visionary future. Likewise, RIGEL eyewear by X-Ide New Generation features a striking, unique and visionary design – an explosion of colour and form that will fascinate and surprise you, no matter what universe you find yourself in.
This important recognition consolidates the role of X-Ide New Generation as a leading brand on the international eyewear scene, which continues to pursue a brave and revolutionary vision. With ongoing stylistic and technological research, the company reaffirms its commitment to offering truly unique designs.
