1402 Square
Cutler and Gross · £415
Worth being NRY provisional
£415 for a bold square drawn from Cutler and Gross’s own 1980s archive, milled from 10mm acetate. Ten millimetres is unusually thick and it is the whole character of the frame: it has presence on a face the way a thin frame cannot, and it weighs accordingly. This is the one to buy if you want the glasses to be noticed.
- For
- Someone who wants a frame that is clearly a choice rather than a default.
- Not for
- Anyone who finds heavy frames tiring, or wants to disappear behind them.
What we checked

Marked provisional: the justification rests on 1 source(s); two independent ones is the bar. We publish it anyway and say so, rather than waiting for evidence that may never arrive.
