The Nova AL by TAVAT is a modern, high-performance optical frame handcrafted in Italy through more than 100 precise production steps. Part of the acclaimed SoupCan collection, this model features a robust chassis engineered from surgical-grade stainless steel, delivering a satisfying, high-quality heft and an unmistakable industrial presence on the face.
The innovative dual-metal construction pairs the stainless steel core with a specialized aluminum eye rim, building a full-rim look onto a semi-rimless silhouette. Hand-inspected at our Wellington studio, this minimalist 3mm frame is custom prescription ready, providing a premium, engineered feel and a striking graphic line for daily wear.
- Dual-Metal Engineering: A pioneering combination pairing a rigid, surgical-grade stainless steel chassis with a lightweight aluminum eye rim for a premium metal-on-metal look.
- Sleek 3mm Profile: Crafted with a minimalist 3 millimeter frame thickness, providing clean, structural lines and finely engineered edges that catch the light.
- Signature Watch-Crown Details: Features TAVAT’s iconic mechanical hinge components and hypoallergenic nose pads for long-term structural integrity and daily comfort.
Styling Tip: Lean into the sharp, industrial lines of the metal-on-metal architecture by pairing this frame with monochromatic layers—like a crisp white poplin shirt under a heavy black chore coat, or a charcoal merino crewneck.

Can you tell me more about the brands?
We don’t believe in mass-produced fashion. Instead, we curate a selection of independent eyewear that you won’t find at a big-box store.
We look for designers who share our values: people who prioritize sculptural design, premium materials like Italian acetate and surgical-grade titanium, and an uncompromising commitment to fit.
Whether you're looking for a bold statement or a quiet classic, our collections are chosen for their character, not their brand name.
