We made a name in the optical industry by introducing the open-temples concept as a style idea in our collection. It was a reference to the 1956 Corvette- an inspiration so powerful that we still use it in our own designs today.
Inspiration for our collection comes from innovative lines on unique cars—new and old—as well as aircraft, gear from extreme sports or other items that have captured a certain aesthetic. We love unique details and subtle touches.
When sketching a new design, we look for just the right line, angle and energy to complement the shape of the eye. The top line is the heart of the frame, so we draw it over and over again until we find the one that really beats. Our design team uses hand drawings, 2-D and 3-D programs, models and prototypes since we believe these tools are essential if we want to keep making the best frames on the market.
Our design and development phases have always been playful, but our end objective remains the focal point of our ambitions. We are loyal to our designs and we never compromise on quality. Our distinctive style and lines are recognizable—and remain consistent in all our designs.
