In our workshop, we design and craft handmade, tailor-made frames in Florence, using only natural materials such as wood and buffalo horn.
Recently, we have specialised in bespoke, tailor-made eyewear for private customers.

We also offer specific courses for individuals or very small groups (2-3 people max at a time) dedicated to those who want to learn or deepen their knowledge of
the art of eyewear: from design to manual processing.

Jochen is the tutor and teacher, and the modules can vary in duration and disciplines explored, depending on the student’s level of knowledge.
The courses available are dedicated to:

1) individual users who, even if only for an introductory experience with the craft, wish to create their own eyeglass frames

2) young designers or aspiring designers who wish to deepen their knowledge of fashion accessory design with a focus on eyewear, bespoke eyewear and sustainable design

3) opticians and optometrists who wish to offer an added value to the services provided in their stores (consultancy or eyewear design).

The courses can be continued by subsequently accessing second-level learning modules dedicated to laboratory application, where students can try their hand at manual work.
