The Pivoting Point

At the very beginning, even before the actual founding of our company, we thought about numerous novel mechanisms and in the end we decided for a simple, easy to understand hinge system with its own fastening mechanism: a nut specially developed and manufactured for us, which both serves as the rotational axis for the temple as well as the counter-part to our custom trilobal flat-headed screw.

We believe that screw systems have clear advantages; they are easy to work with, reversible at all times and durable. And the special drive profile, developed in-house, enables us to realize a hinge-block dimension of less than 4mm overall height in polyamide.

Through our minimalist and consequent design language, this special screw comes into focus and becomes an integral part of the construction as well as the appearance of our frames: hence the trilobal, i.e. three-leaf drive in the head! At first glance, it doesn't appear to be a screw at all and this is what gives our glasses their unmistakable look.
