BRUT CASE

A moulded shell that closes around BRUT SHADES, with the name pressed into the rim and a number set into the floor of the tray. The lid is a single soft dome with no hinge line, no clasp and no seam, it sits into the base the way a lid sits on a jar, held by the fit alone.

An NFC chip lives inside it, which is what turns the case from packaging into the certificate of authenticity: tap it and the frame it belongs to identifies itself. That is why the number is moulded in rather than printed on. A label can be swapped; a number that is part of the geometry cannot.

An extension of BRUT SHADES, printed on the same platform, from 2024.
