Made in Venice

Made by hand,
one at a time.

Every frame is born in our Calle della Mandola workshop, where the acetate slab is milled, tumbled and polished by hand. The same craft since 1967 — slower, less perfect, far more ours.

The way we work

Four principles,
one pair of hands.

From choosing the acetate to the signature on the temple: how we think, design and build every frame.

01

Shapes & Colours

Creativity and experience allow us to offer a wide range of shapes, colours and finishes, meeting every need from an aesthetic and functional point of view.

02

Material

Our eyewear is made of time-proven cellulose acetate, a natural material derived from cotton flock, free of toxic or harmful components and perfectly suited to crafting spectacle frames.

03

Design

In a city unmistakable for its style and refinement, a new way of seeing the world is born: a line of eyewear absolutely original in design, materials and colours.

04

Craftsmanship

Our frames are entrusted to artisan workshops of long tradition and great experience, capable of caring for the smallest details.
