A STUDY OF TRANSPARENCY

VITRA

A clear center.
A different way to look.

One object.
Three quiet layers.

Plate, rim, and stand move apart as you follow the page. Each layer keeps its own outline.

Notice the narrow band around the glass. A small change at the edge can make the whole center feel different.

A cross section in three lines.

More of the center. Less of the frame.

More of the frame. A quieter opening.

Wide opening selected.

Are these optical specifications?

No. The drawings are visual studies of a frame and an opening. They do not describe a working lens or its performance.

Can I keep a different opening?

Choose a drawing above. The downloaded SVG contains the opening you selected.

A blank note for the edge, the center, and what you noticed.
