The CREO workshop in Positano: workbench, press and sample wall

01

Layers of wood

The front is born from layers of wood and resin pressed together, with a few secret ingredients, in a shaped press: the curve comes out perfect and the frame stays strong and light.

Design and cutting

I design every model in 3D and cut the front with a CNC machine. I know every single centimeter of each one. They are the same drawings you can move in the configurator: widening the lenses, the bridge stays in place, just like on the real frame.

The hand

From cutting to the final polishing, every frame is hand finished on the workshop bench. Where needed, the techniques of a lifetime come in: inlay, carving, gilding, decoration, restoration. This is also how the front styles are born: checkers, slats, bands and brow bars are different woods, cut and glued together before the frame takes shape.

The woods

Ebony, rosewood, wengé, zebrano, walnut, maple, birch, mahogany, ash, beech: a kaleidoscope of woods. And for the one-offs: slate stone, cork, lavender stems, real leaves, Positano ceramic.

Made for you

You can choose shape, woods, lens color and engraving: your pair is made to order, and in the shop even within the day. You can also build it from home, in the configurator: if a size is not among the ready ones, the front is cut just for you. A protective treatment seals it against water and sweat: made for everyday wear.
