adessentiam (from the Latin = towards the essence) is a laboratory of bespoke glasses.
Each frame is a unique piece, modeled on the exact mapping of your face.
We will choose the materials together; and if you want we can also create the acetate from which to carve your unique glasses, with the colors you want.
Here we create tailored glasses that go beyond words.
Each frame is an intimate story, an essential work of art, which strips away the superfluous, the useless dictated by brands and fashion, to move towards a search for true quality, excellence and sustainability.
There is something that language cannot express, an alchemical process that emerges during the creation of glasses.
The creative intent, the will to create something unrepeatable, and the awareness of establishing a dialogue contribute to the construction of a frame. A dialogue between the unique taste of who I have in front of me and the moment of creation. And also a dialogue between the face that will wear the glasses and my sensitivity for the harmony of shapes, which is a life I seek as the aerodynamics of existence.
This is adessentiam, a place where creativity, knowledge of shapes and materials and craftsmanship come together to create literally unrepeatable eyewear.
An industrial line offers a promise of expressing one’s personality, one’s individuality, but it does not keep it. In reality it is homologation: millions of pairs of identical glasses. I have chosen to transcend this. To invite my clients to embark on a creation process with me. An alchemical transmutation to bring out a piece of your individuality and free will and infuse it into your glasses. This is what I propose to do, go beyond the need to wear glasses to correct a visual defect or to protect oneself from the sun. I intend to design and create glasses together with the customer that are an expression of their unique and unrepeatable essence, of their humanity.
