Form follows user.
We believe that your eyewear should truly be YOURS. Frame is a system that empowers the user to actively choose and design his own modular eyewear.
Design
Frame is based on a parametric code designed with Grasshopper. This means you can edit every feature of your model as you like.
3D print
Download the project files and 3D print them at home or wherever you prefer. You can go to a Fab Lab or a hub, or use an online service.
Assemble
Once you have your pieces, it's easy to put the lenses inside and assemble them. Visit our "How to use" page for further explanation.
Use this editor to create your own Frame!
You can find detailed instructions on how to set up your model here.
And don’t forget to download the temple file to complete your glasses!

This is such an amazing idea and is exactly what the market needs! I struggle to find frames that are truly unique and I won't need to anymore!
