Anne Et Valentin Tampo

The classic pantos of the concept, very much in tune with the times, with a subtle nod to the ’90s. Elegant, almost nonchalant. Soft shape and nervous lines. Prefers to avoid unnecessary risk – but loves the precision and personal character of an object. Worn effortlessly, without a second thought, and with complete confidence. Its motto: come what may, hooray hooray hooray!

A signature concept at Anne & Valentin, PICTOGRAM frames feature precise, expressive lines. These frames use the minimal amount of material possible, playing with subtle volume effects. The various graphic elements that make up the models, such as the specially designed temples for this concept, evoke the high-quality lining of a garment with impeccable finishes. These elements are more or less visible depending on the color.

A pictogram is a schematic graphic representation, a stylized figurative drawing that functions as a sign. PICTOGRAM embraces this synthetic approach. The line is marked, drawn, direct, and taut—creating essential frames with depth, a personal perspective, and shapes that echo the revival of the 90s. The relationship between volume and depth evokes the work of architect Tadao Ando or designer Gerrit Thomas Rietveld, known for his furniture pieces.

From the front, the lines are incredibly fine, revealing only the shape of the frame. From the side, the depth of each form becomes apparent, giving each frame thickness and density. The temples, nose, and slender arms are all designed to stretch the features and the gaze. The sharp, bright cutouts with angular edges emphasize a rounded expression.

Their schematic and readable design appeals to those who seek lines that are both subtle and striking. Designed for a new generation of thirty-somethings who appreciate smart design objects, PICTOGRAM frames reconcile technical rigor with stylistic relaxation.
