French to English translations [PRO] Textiles / Clothing / Fashion / Eyewear | | French term or phrase: tenons déportés | This is from a description of a line of designer eyewear. Something new this past year were men's glasses with "tenons déportés". I've discovered that the "tenons" are the end pieces to which the temples are attached. But I don't understand what we're doing to them here. The text is as follows:
Cette collection opère un renouveau en 2011 avec le lancement de 18 nouveaux modèles optiques, destinés à l’homme chic et élégant, avec des montures percées et des formes rondes pour les jeunes séniors, des **tenons déportés**, des double ponts et des acétate pour une cible plus jeune.
