The Shaft is an upswept, architectural frame that reimagines the classic cat-eye with modern, structural lines. Featuring a lifted brow and a generous lens depth, this silhouette offers a bold but airy presence, especially in the translucent finishes.
Hand-finished from bio-based acetate that has been oven-cured for stability, the Shaft is engineered to maintain its precise adjustment. The hardware is a central design element, featuring signature 18k gold-plated hinges and laser-cut screws that are visible through the transparent material, highlighting the frame's technical construction.
- Upswept Geometric Silhouette: A modern take on the cat-eye that adds lift and definition to the face without the heavy weight of solid frames.
- Cured Translucent Acetate: Oven-treated to prevent warping and hand-polished to a high-luster finish that showcases the internal frame architecture.
- Visible Precision Hardware: Outfitted with signature seven-barrel hinges for a durable build that stands up to daily utility.
Style Tip: The Shaft is a perfect choice for adding a "light" architectural touch to your look. Because the tones are so neutral, it doesn't compete with bold patterns or bright colors. Pair it with soft textures—like silk or fine knits—to play off the frame’s smooth, fluid curves.

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.
