Artisan Mid Grey
The same even-handed rectangle in a cool mid-tone acetate that stays neutral against both a navy suit and a plain t-shirt.
Mid Grey is the frame to choose when black feels too hard against your skin and brown too warm for your wardrobe. It is a solid, slightly cloudy tone rather than a metallic one, cut by hand from an Italian acetate block and brought up over more than sixty polishing passes. The proportions are 51-20-145 with a 141 mm front and 41 mm lenses, which is a classic medium in every dimension. Nothing about it is dramatic, and that is deliberate: a frame you can wear through eight hours of video calls and three hours of gaming afterwards should not be making decisions for you.
The lens
Selective, not blanket, filtering
- 0% measured transmission below 400 nm - UV fully blocked
- 36.8% at 450 nm - the short-wavelength load from screens is cut without removing it
- 76.5% at 550 nm - working brightness retained
- Rising to 95.0% at 700 nm - color balance on screen stays usable
- Luminous transmittance 76.5%, Filter Category 1
All figures are single-lens spectrophotometer measurements from our own laboratory reports for this lens, tested to EN ISO 12312-1, ANSI Z80.3 and AS/NZS 1067.1. Individual response varies.
Fit
Will the Artisan Mid Grey fit you?
Medium here means medium in all three directions, not just one. Lens width 51 mm, bridge 20 mm, temple 145 mm, front 141 mm. Read your own numbers off the inside of the arm and compare all three rather than only the first. A frame can share your lens width and still be wrong if its bridge is 4 mm off. If your bridge measures 18 to 21 mm and your lenses fall near 51 mm, Mid Grey will need no adjustment at all.
