YLVA OGLAND: Speglad källa (Mirrored Spring), Snöfrid et les contre espaces

Eldridge Optician is proud to host Fruit & Flower Deli and their first solo exhibition Källa (Spring), Snöfrid et les contre espaces with Ylva Ogland. The exhibition is made in collaboration with Galleri Charlotte Lund in Stockholm where the exhibition Speglad källa (Mirrored Spring), Snöfrid et les contre espaces by the artist is on view during the same time period.

Fine dining, fine art and fine Krug.

Friends of Eldridge Optician and Oscar Magnuson gathered for a luxurious dinner last week at the gallery on Birger Jarlsgatan, Stockholm. The space is currently in use as Ylva Ogland’s studio as she prepares for her upcoming show in November so unfinished paintings and paint brush strewn around lent themselves to the ambience of artiness. The black chairs and white table cloths echoed the monochrome artwork, sparkling conversation was helped by another sparkling, beautiful thing – Krug champagne, and the cuisine was served by fine dining restaurant Vassa Eggen.

237 – A New Line of Spectacles and Simplicity

We’re proud to announce the launch of an entirely new line of spectacles inspired by the distillation of design, purity and choice.

Made up of six frame shapes each in the same six colours, the range 237 is named after Oscar Magnuson’s first gallery project with collective Fruit & Flower Deli – The Eldridge Optician at 237 Eldridge Street Manhattan. The frames hold Oscar Magnuson’s clean Scandinavian style that speaks of creativity and intellectualism, and represent an artistic balance: the OM essence is maximised while materials have been reduced to a bare minimum.

“If a thing can be done adequately by means of one, it is superfluous to do it by means of several; for we observe that nature does not employ two instruments where one suffices” (Aquinas 1945)

The sleek frames come in a popping peacock blue, pale yellow, tortoiseshell, light brown, burgundy and black all in acetate.
