These are glasses that happen to be made of wood.. The challenge was to make a wooden pair of glasses that were elevated beyond the gimmick of material into something functional and completely unique. The small scale of eyewear asks you to take a deeper look and appreciate the grain, color, feel, that wood is an organic material meant to grow and thrive, that when a tree dies this beauty is frozen in time until its eventual decomposition.

Wooden frames are lightweight and comfortable with a pattern that can’t be reproduced, making for a pair of glasses as unique as their wearer.

They’re nice.

making glasses is hard

nice wood

  • Natural beauty and feel

    Grown, not made, always current. Each species has its own look, texture and character. Wood makes for a much lighter pair of glasses than their plastic counterparts.

  • sustainable materials

    Salvaged wood, either from urban lumber local to Wisconsin, broken skateboards or exotic scrap wood saved from the burn pile

    Airplane grade aluminum reenforcement, infinitely recyclable

    Cellulose acetate temple tips, a biodegradable polymer made from wood and cotton pulp. These tips use Mazzucchelli’s Havana cellulose acetate, the world’s premier manufacturer. Read more about them here.

  • truly limited runs

    Because wood can’t be replicated, each frame is unique. Through endless variations in grain, pattern, character, texture, color, even classic styles are reinvented with every new pair.
