The brand uses only acetate for the front of the frames, a natural cellulose‑based material long valued for its design potential. For the temples, it uses fine stainless‑steel arms connected via a plug‑in system. Aesthetic codes include reduced form, functional articulation and limited‑edition production. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
