Hello Production
It takes over 80 separate steps to create a pair of our acetate and Acetate Renew glasses. VIU acetate glasses are produced at our partner factories in northern Italy (FIO, Luxol, M1), where no detail goes unnoticed. The synthetic material derived from cellulose is lightweight, durable and versatile.
Acetate Renew is made from certified recycled plastics, sustainable cellulose and organic plasticisers. That makes it 96% sustainable but with all the functionality and quality of standard acetate.
Japan and South Korea are known for their titanium and have the exceptional production facilities to match, so that’s exactly where we make our frames in this premium raw material. This helps us keep our quality high and our supply chain short. Over 200 steps have to be taken to craft our lightweight yet durable titanium frames. The finished products look good and feel good – and they’re hypoallergenic.
Beta titanium is on another level, accentuating the flexibility, comfort and light weight of standard titanium. These properties allow it to be worked with even more precision to create extremely thin frames that are unbelievably comfy.
We’re taking innovative action by working closely with one of the global leaders in 3D printing. Our 3D-printed frames reflect our commitment to sustainability. They are made from ultra-light polyamide dust, which is layered up to achieve impressive durability and flexibility. No wonder our glasses are as unique as the people that wear them.
