In the \u003cstrong\u003eLight Grey Fade\u003c\/strong\u003e colorway, the design features a structured inner frame in a cool grey, encased within a translucent, high-luster outer shell. The gradient \"fade\" adds a layer of refinement, making the architectural lines appear to subtly dissolve towards the bottom of the frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eTechnical Craftsmanship \u0026amp; Material Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul data-rte-list=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDual-Layer Lamination Process:\u003c\/strong\u003e The inner and outer frame components are milled as separate units and fused through a proprietary \u003cstrong\u003ehigh-pressure lamination process\u003c\/strong\u003e that takes nearly two months.
