EYEWEAR PROCESS

100% HANDMADE IN ITALY

We teamed up with a great familly that have been manufacturing frames for the last 50 years for the most prestigious brands. Each frame is built from start to finish combining the traditional methods of production with the Italian ‘savoir faire’. For each frame, the entire process can last from 8 to 24 weeks.

DESIGN - 3D

When we design products, we think about producing a genuine product extremely light and robust, 100% seastainable that will please the tastes of any markets and customers.

PRODUCTION PROCESS

PRODUCTION PROCESS

PRODUCTION

Renato

Once the 3d print has been approved, Renato will supervise
the production of our molds that are made in Segusino (Italy). Our upcycled UPSEA™ polymer heated up to 182 oC / 359oF will be injected in the molds. 

TUMBLING

Once injected each piece can spend a few days in the tumblers, which are containers filled with small chips of beech and birch wood, whose movement produce a soft abrasion that eliminates imperfections and makes the surface perfectly smooth.

POLISHING

Graziano

After tumbling, each part is re-inspected and polished by Graziano, one of our expert craftsmen; every small imperfection is smoothed away

VARNISHING

Roberto

Hand varnishing makes every pair unique thanks to Roberto and his team. This manual process will make each frame exclusive and unique.

MARKING

Some brands like Sea2see still mark each temple by hand, when most brands in the eyewear production use lasers.

Simone

Simone heads the lenses cutting area. Anything can be cut, whether its mineral, polycarbonate, nylon, CR39, polarized...
