Surgical Steel and Titanium

The Surgical Steel and Titanium Collection was created to extend the limits of design and performance. Each frame is handcrafted from a fusion of military-grade surgical steel and titanium, a hypoallergenic combination first discovered in spacecraft development. The result is eyewear that offers remarkable durability, lightness, flex memory, and heat resistance.

DLC Coating

DLC (Diamond-like Carbon) Coating is lab-synthesized by decomposing hydrocarbon gases to stack individual atoms in a carbon film that is thinner than paper, stronger than steel, and retains the properties of diamond. During deposition, the carbon atoms rearrange themselves into a structure that resembles diamond, hence the name "diamond-like carbon." This breakthrough technology is used in high-performance industries from auto racing to aeronautics – bringing the characteristics of nature’s rarest gemstones to wherever it’s applied.

Carbon Fiber

Carbon fiber, heralded for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and versatility, revolutionizes the landscape of eyewear design. Composed of carbon atoms bonded together in a crystalline structure, carbon fiber exhibits remarkable durability and resilience. Despite its robustness, carbon fiber remains exceptionally lightweight, ensuring comfort for extended wear. Its inherent flexibility allows for intricate designs and sleek profiles, enabling eyewear artisans to craft frames that seamlessly marry form and function. Additionally, carbon fiber boasts excellent resistance to corrosion, impact, and temperature fluctuations, ensuring longevity and reliability in diverse environments.

Exotic Wood

Our wooden materials are carefully selected from sources certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®). Forest certification guarantees the forests where our materials originate are managed correctly and responsibly according to strict environmental, social, and economic standards – protecting the plants, animals, and people that rely on them. Wood offers a warm and organic aesthetic, with each distinct grain pattern and texture telling a unique story of nature's craftsmanship. It’s remarkably lightweight, providing comfort for extended wear. Additionally, the woods we use are inherently eco-friendly and sustainable, making wood an environmentally conscious choice for eyewear manufacturers and consumers alike.

Acetate

Celebrated for it’s hand-made character and iconic style, acetate delivers timeless aesthetics in a sustainable alternative for eyewear manufacturing. Acetate is derived from natural cellulose fibers, typically sourced from renewable plant materials such as cotton or wood pulp. With its eco-friendly composition, acetate frames offer a responsible choice for environmentally conscious consumers. The production process of acetate involves minimal environmental impact, utilizing non-toxic chemicals with fewer carbon emissions than traditional plastic materials. Additionally, acetate frames are biodegradable, ensuring they can be disposed of responsibly at the end of their lifecycle.

Lorem Ipsum

Gold

OVVO crafts its eyewear from genuine 14kt gold, vaporizing this precious and beautiful metal into fine particles that are then delicately cast onto the frame. This process results in an elegant gold plating that is virtually flawless and resilient to fading over time.
