Role
Materials
Material changes how eyewear looks, feels, and ages. Why Acetate? explores the depth, structure, and character that make acetate central to the VANTA design language.
What I did
A frame begins before its shape. It begins with what it is made from. We choose acetate for its depth, tactility, and ability to turn color into something dimensional. The material gives our frames substance while allowing precise control over proportion, finish, and character.
