The manufacturing process begins with the careful selection of
the wood – typically birch, which is native to Finland, although
exotic woods such as wenge and teak are also used in small
quantities. Each piece of veneer is meticulously checked for
imperfections, before being crafted into one of several simple yet
timeless styles. The frames are designed to suit amultitude of head
shapes, but are also heat moldable to ensure a perfect fit every time.

In 2008, Matti Hänninen, frustrated at his inability to find a pair
of glasses that he liked, decided to make a pair for himself. A
carpenter by trade, wood was his natural material of choice,

passion for beauty, quality and fine material, and the majority of
the work is done by hand.
