From the Designer: 

"My personal philosophy is that eyewear should enhance your personality and not be a substitute for one. It should also feel as good in the hand as it does on your face. By using laborious production techniques and a lot of handwork, an inner silhouette is encased in an unexpectedly fresh outer shape. This seamless fusion of two frames and the juxtaposition of contrasting form and color create a design tension that is thoroughly modern yet comfortably familiar."

The brand ethos is to bring to market eyewear that is "artful yet wearable." Using the construction of laminating a "frame within a frame" is just one means to this end.
