While it maintains a clean, architectural silhouette, the frame relies on a complex internal lamination that gives it a \"glowing\" edge effect. The \u003cstrong\u003eBelgium Blue\u003c\/strong\u003e finish features a rich, translucent indigo outer frame that encases a slightly darker, structured inner core, creating a sense of three-dimensional depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4 style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eTechnical Craftsmanship \u0026amp; Materials\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul data-rte-list=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeamless Dual-Lamination:\u003c\/strong\u003e The inner and outer acetate silhouettes are milled as independent units.
