And it is horn again that is used by Hoffmann Natural Eyewear, worked since 1978 by experts in the atelier that is located in the picturesque region of Volcanic Eifel in the West of Germany. To the natural effect of a material that each time presents streaks, lights and different shades, the company's ability to intervene with colour is added, without altering the sense of an authentic beauty in the least; indeed exalting it. An example is the model 2324 D 1445-1, with the classic panto shape, where an intense blue contrasts with a caramel shade with dark markings. Each model can then be infinitely customised, according to the various needs of the customer. For Sébastien Geslin, starting to make glasses by hand was instead an urgency and a necessity stemming from the fact of never being satisfied with the styles offered by optical shops. He himself, who wears eyeglasses... After working for various luxury brands, he dedicated himself to the production of glasses, specialising in the use of precious and rare woods. Small masterpieces have emerged, such as the Sala Weed model in Morta wood, millenial oak fossil wood, bleached and then coloured in green with an antique effect and finished with six layers of paint. The tips, on the other hand, are in black buffalo horn. But Sébastien went beyond aesthetics, designing an S-Temp system, allowing a quick adjustment of the head width and thus leading Maison Sébastien Geslin to be nominated at the Silmo d'Or 2022 in the "Technological Innovation Eyewear" section with the mod. Game Mad.

Savoir-faire is an extreme act of generosity and is often directly connected with art, which can also be conveyed through a pair of glasses. In the case of Tarian, the discourse becomes almost a family matter. Because behind this refined French brand is Jérémy Miklitarian, son of Alain Mikli(tarian). Despite having followed in his father's footsteps, Jérémy continues to cultivate his passion for ceramics in his Paris atelier, which in 2022 received the "Made in Paris" award from the mayor for the series of "Terres Marbrés" ceramics handmade according to an ancient technique. It was therefore a moment for Jérémy to combine these two talents, seeing them converge in a limited edition of glasses, characterised by a thin titanium structure with ceramic decorations as for the mod. Ceramic T-011, of which only 200 are available.

Pure poetry that for Rolf Spectacles becomes the sharing of a horizon, of the pure breath of the mountains and forests of Tyrol, in Austria, where the brand has its headquarters. The roughness of the rock walls translates into stone glasses with a wooden core, including the Topolino model. 0km materials are thus used to feel part of the landscape, creating a strong connection with nature. The same feeling that can be felt wearing the glasses of the Zeppelin collection, offered by Lucas de Staël in genuine cow leather also in the croco print version, or in a striking combination of stone and cow leather. To make them special, a classic, timeless aesthetic, and details such as the moulded rims in which lenses are "clipped on" without heating, while comfort is ensured by the moulded nose. Because for savoir-faire, beauty and uniqueness only make sense if they also respect well-being and comfort.
