We live on Syros, an island in the center of the Aegean. Grew up near the sea and under the sun.

THE APPROACH

We try to convey the feeling of the place where we live. Everything relates to the bright blue color of the Aegean sea, reminding us of its islands. The lines and forms of the frames of our wood sunglasses evoke the waves of the sea, the flow of the sand on the golden beaches of the Mediterranean and the essence of a cool summer night’s breeze.

 

THE ARTIFACT

Eyewear is a complex construction, especially when it is created through a handcrafted process. We believe that wooden sunglasses is not a luxury item, but an artifact that comes from good technique, attention to detail, and care for the material and the final outcome. It’s something that everyone should enjoy wearing.

 

 

 

 

 

/wʊd/ WOOD

THE HARD FIBROUS MATERIAL THAT FORMS THE MAIN SUBSTANCE OF A TREE OR SHRUB.

 

This is a plain description. Reality is even bigger than just a few lines put together next to each other. That’s because the material is alive; It has an odour, breathes and ages with you, as everything around us in this world. These are facts that the Mediterranean people understand since they are surrounded by nature and live in a different pace with her. We wanted to overtake plain descriptions of books that may distract us from that alive material. We wanted to live with the material, we wanted to hear the story from its side, by working with it for the making of wooden eyewear.

 

There are times where a simple morning thought, is enough to change everything you take for granted. The way you live your life, your work, the way you perceive things, your state of mind, in general. We where lucky enough to witness a morning as such.To feel the sun’s warm light shaping you and instantly an idea being born that very moment. That same moment, where sun dazzles you with its brightness. Since that morning our decision in making wood sunglasses was perfectly clear. So obvious, that since is the centre of any activity, thought and philosophy of ours.

 

We started handling and shaping wood in various ways, learning new techniques and procedures. As we were training ourselves to make wooden sunglasses, wood started to train and educate us in its terms and ways. We are thankful for every piece of knowledge we extracted from this process and proud of our creations. So, we place back the results of our passioned labour where we first envisioned them, in front of the sun.
