 Jewellery frames created by the Quebec soprano Anne-Marie Faniel. She designed them to reveal the unique personality of each wearer. They feature coloured materials, made of recycled acetate, resulting from a unique original process, imagined by the designer and skillfully blended to highlight the skin tone and morphology of each person, in order to reveal the unique beauty in each face. Faniel has four distinct collections. The Faniel Artistic collection. Pure and hard, it is aimed at the most expressive of us and offers bold and assertive designs designed to harmonize different characteristics of each face. The Faniel au cube collection, where each frame is named after a positive energy, allowing the wearer to carry these beneficial waves to themselves and to others. The ¡Artista! An evolving collection inspired by the great artists who have marked our planet. An exciting universe exploring metal and acetate, allowing the designer to give free rein to her artistic imagination. Works of art for your eyes! Océana! Designed by Anne-Marie's daughter, Clara Faniel, the young designer has created a resolutely trendy and contemporary collection, inspired by a free and vibrant lifestyle, inviting carefree and free living by the sea.  High-quality eyewear fashion doesn’t need to be boring – Johann Pomberger, founder of Johann Von Goisern, was sure of that. “Johann von Goisern” combines the first name of Johann Pomberger, the creative originator of the brand, and the location of our eyewear factory, Bad Goisern. Colloquially we simply call it “Goisern”. The “real” Johann (von Goisern) was born in Bad Goisern in 1937 and the region and its people were very close to his heart. His professional career brought him into contact with optics again and again. In 1984 he finally set up his own business in the “production and processing of spectacle frames”. The family business he founded is now managed by the third generation and continues to hold on to the company location in Bad Goisern, making it one of the companies core values. This Austrian designer boasts these three characteristics – outstanding quality, exceptional design and the location of Bad Goisern – this is what still make Johann von Goisern spectacle frames what they are today. Check out the technology that makes them unique! Johann von Goisern frames now available at Insight Eyeworks in Aurora, Ontario
