30911 – Tidebound

Tidebound rectangular sports glasses combine a structured rectangular front with a more dynamic multi-colour temple design. The front appears in a muted dark olive-charcoal tone, giving the frame a grounded base without looking as stark as solid black.

The lens openings are wider than they are tall, with gently rounded corners that soften the overall geometry. A slightly curved brow follows the upper rim, while the lower edge remains clean and understated. This creates a practical rectangular silhouette with a subtle sporty character.

Distinctive Colour Combination

The frame becomes considerably more expressive from the sides. Bright blue hinge sections connect the darker front to aqua and mint-toned temples. Dark navy accents appear along sections of the arms, creating a layered colour palette rather than a simple two-tone finish.

This combination of charcoal, blue and aqua gives Tidebound rectangular sports glasses a recognisable appearance without relying on decorative logos or metallic embellishments.

Textured Temple Design

One of Tidebound’s most noticeable details is the treatment of the temple arms. The inner sections feature a textured surface, while the outer portions use gently contoured lines and contrasting colour blocks.

The temple tips curve inward and feature a broader, rounded profile. Their textured construction adds another visual element when the frame is viewed from the rear or side.

Integrated Front Construction

The bridge forms part of the continuous front rather than using a separate metal bridge. Dark integrated nose-contact sections are visible behind the bridge area, keeping the front visually cohesive.

The outer corners transition into contrasting blue hinge components. These connections are deliberately visible and become part of the design rather than being hidden within the temples.

A More Technical Visual Character

Unlike minimalist single-colour frames, Tidebound uses its construction details as part of its appearance. The layered temple colours, textured ends and contrasting hinge pieces give the frame a more technical, active aesthetic.

Despite these details, the front remains relatively restrained. This balance between a simple rectangular face and more expressive side profile is the defining feature of the design.
