Biodegradable acetate, handmade. 120 days in contact with active compost and the frame breaks down — lab tested, compliant with ISO 14855. We combine it with wood and stone, which gives genuinely beautiful pieces on top of being responsible. The starting idea was simple: prove that a pair of glasses can return to the earth without leaving a trace. Every pair passes through several hands before it reaches yours, this is real craft. Not a label stuck on an industrial product.

Every pair in the biodegradable collection passes through several hands. Cutting the acetate, assembling the wood and stone inserts, polishing — this is craft work, not an assembly line. We are not going to pretend it is like building a piece of furniture, but there is that same attention to detail that makes the difference noticeable; you know it the moment you pick them up. Traditional eyewear know-how applied to responsible materials. Handmade frames have something extra that is hard to put into words — you have to hold them to understand.
