Combination – Mixed materials
The combination of different materials like acetate and metal parts requires knowledge and craftsmanship. Attention to detail and in-depth knowledge of materials is part of our expertise.
Our design team supports our customers in all steps of the creation of a new design by providing hints & tips on the designs and the materials that is better to use each time. The finishing method of mixed materials products requires an extra level of quality check which we have included in our 43 quality check point list.
Riveting hinges
One of the most important quality check points on a frame, are hinges. They carry most of the pressure of the frame and its functionality.
We specialize in the old school traditional high quality manufacturing, rivet hinges. Rivet hinges, 5-barrel or 7-barrel, require a high level of craftsmanship, European standards of eyewear production and precise handmade processes.
We collaborate with all the high class Italian factories for metal parts and hinges, like Visottica, Ideal and the German OBE. We try to enhance our customer’s design requirements with the latest state of the art hinges and systems that will add value to their final products.
