Manufacturing of wooden glasses
At Amazing Eyewear, we say yes to wooden glasses! Eco-friendly, designer, or upscale, the possibilities are endless. Now let’s see what happens to the wood before it becomes a pair of glasses.
Some eyeglasses designers turn to traditional, solid wood, the appearance of which is raw, natural, and modified by cutting angles and finishes. Other designers prefer to use the laminated glue technique for more lightness and comfort, and especially for a layered look that allows them to play with different colors and materials.
Wood is not the only material that makes up the structure of the glasses. Some brands rely on inserts of other materials, like carbon or glass fibers. Often invisible, these additions offer solidity and comfort to the frames. Finally, during the manufacturing process, the designers must also choose what kind of hinges to use. Will they be entirely wooden, without screws, or will they perhaps forgo hinges altogether? The possibilities are numerous, and each has its own benefits.
Patience, rigor, and know-how meet in the creation of these glasses, as wood is an organic material and is not always easily tamed. Combining tradition and new technologies, eyeglass designers innovate and, above all, create. Go behind the scenes of the creation of wooden glasses.
