ALLPOETS purpose-driven design: responsible eyewear, radical style

Based in Barcelona and backed by Etnia Eyewear Culture, ALLPOETS promotes a clear vision for eyewear: creating aesthetic, durable, and transparent products using certified recycled acetate. Its proprietary CRT technology represents an industrial shift toward more ethical design practices.

Why does ALLPOETS embrace purpose-driven design?

At ALLPOETS, design is never neutral. It’s the extension of a manifesto: to create eyewear that expresses an idea. The phrase “purpose-driven design” defines the brand’s DNA. Each frame is a statement—against overconsumption, in favor of reusing materials, and of long-lasting style with no aesthetic compromise. As their tagline puts it: “To be a poet is to be a rebel.”

How are ALLPOETS frames made?

All frames are made from ISCC-certified acetate derived from organic (cotton, wood) and recycled materials, processed using Carbon Renewed Technology (CRT). This technique, developed in partnership with Eastman, transforms complex plastic waste into high-quality material with a significantly lower carbon footprint.

What is the “Bio & Recycled” collection about?

The “Bio & Recycled” collection embodies ALLPOETS’ commitment: bio-based acetate, natural tones, low-impact production, vegan packaging. It speaks to a generation demanding both style and accountability—a true alignment of design and values.

How does this approach impact the eyewear market?

Once niche, sustainable eyewear is now desirable thanks in part to ALLPOETS. Between 2018 and 2021, the sustainable segment grew by 273%, according to the group. By aligning activism with form, ALLPOETS sets a new standard: sustainability is now a style criterion.

What role does design play in this ethical stance?

ALLPOETS design is minimal, assertive, and almost conceptual. Nothing ornamental—just essential form, material, and fit. The design expresses an idea: make objects that last and stand out through intention, not embellishment. This radical simplicity, combined with responsible production, frames the brand in an aesthetic of meaning.

Why spotlight this brand now?

ALLPOETS embodies a shift in creative industries—where style and responsibility are no longer opposites. In a time when ethics is becoming a creative standard, their approach resonates with a generation that wants to see clearly—and look differently at what they consume.
