The right material

Acetate, stainless steel or titanium? The material of the eyewear is also an important factor when looking for the right pair of eyeglasses.

From versatile acetate to filigree stainless steel or noble titanium to 3D-printed glasses – made of various high-quality materials, VIU glasses meet all requirements.

Acetate

Whether statement eyewear or slender frames, acetate is not only lightweight and dimensionally stable, but can also be manufactured in many different colours. Fabricated from natural cellulose, this versatile product is the perfect material for discreet or bold frames in all colours and shapes.

Acetate Renew

96% sustainable, 100% responsible. Acetate Renew is made of certified recycled plastics, organically based cellulose and organic plasticisers – 96% sustainable components. However, its functionality and quality are no different from traditional acetate.

Titanium

Light as a feather and extremely sturdy – eyewear made of titanium not only offers the utmost wearing comfort and an elegant look, but is also allergen-free. Our frames are made from the purest titanium in over 200 steps at an eyewear factory in Japan, where minimalist designs meet maximum durability for a uniquely timeless look.
Titanium

Beta-Titanium

Ultralight, extremely flexible and remarkably comfortable – beta titanium can be processed in much slimmer thicknesses than conventional titanium. The resulting eyewear is extremely thin, with flexible frames that keep their shape outstandingly well and are remarkably comfortable to wear.

3D Printing

An ultra-lightweight material and highly customizable – these reasons alone make VIU’s 3D-printed eyewear absolutely contemporary. The various models are made from ultra-lightweight polyamide dust to create frames that are simultaneously durable and flexible. This results in customized glasses in a variety of designs that meet a wide range of needs.

Material Mix

Not either or, but the best of both worlds – the symbiosis of thin acetate and slender stainless steel. Both materials are lightweight and easy to shape, but simultaneously offer maximum stability and flexibility. Together they form the perfect mix of materials for timelessly elegant models that are impressive thanks to their cool look and low weight.

Stainless steel

Lightweight, flexible and sturdy – the specially treated stainless steel in our VIU eyewear is processed extra thin using the most modern manufacturing methods. This enables us to create delicate and slender models in various shapes that are almost imperceptible on the nose, but nonetheless robust and corrosion-resistant.
