Artisan opticians create
each frame for a face
and nose type.
The acetate prototypes are tested
on real people and are touched up
by hand to get the perfect fit.
The frames are manufactured
from sheets of cellulose acetate with special colours that are thicker than normal, so that they can
sculpt out anatomically shaped
nose bridges from one piece, making them comfortable
and stable for use.
To make it easier to handle the glasses
with two hands, all of the arms are designed with the anatomic shape of fingers.
The metal frames are made of galvanised light alloy and are hand painted.
The lacquers of the metal frames and the colours of the cellulose acetate plates are created exclusively for Suitto, according to the chosen Pantone colour references.

The frames are roughened and polished in wooden drums for three days.
The frames are hand-polished with three different fine pastes.
Technology digitally creates ergonomic shapes, but hands and
time are what give Suitto frames their perfect finish.
