How color make differences
Cellulose acetate is a dynamic material where light and form intersect. Derived from natural cotton and wood pulp, it offers rich depth without petroleum-based plastics. Through custom layering, frames capture and diffuse light, creating visual translucency and distinct three-dimensional depth.
Custom acetate requires physical exploration beyond standard flat color palettes. Layering custom sheets allows designers to respond to faceted frame fronts. From CNC cutting to hand polishing, each step balances material tension to create unique, durable eyewear with lasting chromatic resonance.
EXCLUSIVE CUSTOM ACETATES
Working with Mazzucchelli 1849 allows us to create custom acetates instead of relying on standard catalogs. Every sheet is made to fit our frame designs, featuring original color gradients, multi-layered patterns, and unique geometric blocks.
Custom materials give us full design freedom. By controlling color layering and textures, we turn raw cellulose into frames that interact with light in specific ways, offering distinct patterns you will not find anywhere else.
