Between Lines.
Gentilly and Kagawa. Two frames, each folded from a single sheet of titanium. Fine lines, sharp folds, and a stone-washed surface that catches the light.
A small study in doing more with less.
Available now.

Mellowing, by @jethrojmarshall, with writing by @thomassharp.
The city’s an echo,
remember me
say everyone’s hundred hot blisses
in a souvenir season of blisses,
what a summer of bliss.
The buildings leant over us didn’t they?
They bent to our sweltering passions,
we jammed the traffic you and I,
we remembered in the strobing sunlight
to love.
And all the while, you told me,
you got glittersticky blasts
of realtime nostalgia.
How can this last forever?
How can the summer
slip through our fingers?
Brightest of days,
you had us on the edge of time
for a moment there.
Somewhere in London,
in the middle of nowhere.
And the clocks are looking
over their shoulders now,
looking downward,
for autumn is a season
coming on ground up.
We mellow.
We do.
But today?
It’s still a bright one.
And there’ll always be another.

Introducing the Yard, our new home in King’s Cross.
Set in a former Victorian stables (which formed part of the Crosse and Blackwell vinegar brewery), with over 13,000 sq ft dedicated to the making, repairing, glazing, designing, learning, and general betterment of spectacles.
The ground floor is dedicated to production, with our workshop, glazing lab, tumbling and polishing room. The first floor is for our team, with a studio, office, commercial kitchen, communal dining room, creative space, frame archive, and model store. The second floor is dedicated to learning, with our new Academy.
Visit us for while-you-wait and same-day glazing, adjustments and repairs, Bespoke consultations, and spectacle making classes.
Designed by @51architecture, with colours by @colormakespeoplehappy, and shot by @felixspeller.
The Yard is open at 6 Blundell Street, King’s Cross, London.

In keeping with optical tradition, we name each of our rimless shapes after a British town.
Here’s Selsey in a Wine Fade ZEISS lens, worn by @guerreisms of @nochasermagazine.
Photographed by @antonrenborg in New York’s Lower East Side - which feels like a long way from West Sussex.

A rather elegant Bespoke specimen.
Made from Mazzucchelli ‘Camo’ acetate, its pattern recalls ‘demi blond’ - a prized colour of traditional shell spectacles.
Commonly called tortoiseshell, the material actually came from the hawksbill turtle (its international commercial trade is now, rightly, banned).
But here, the beauty is in the cellulose acetate. Broad surfaces let the pattern wander; chamfered edges catch the light. Amber one moment, treacle the next.
At each hinge, a small constellation of three dots - individual pins, fitted and finished by hand; twelve in all.
Very lovely indeed.

Isamu Noguchi had a healthy disregard for sticking to one thing.
Sculpture, gardens, furniture, light - each offered another way to explore a material; another reason to begin again.
That curiosity inspired Between Lines: a small experiment of our own in 0.7mm beta titanium; cut, shaped and tumbled into something that holds its form, but knows when to bend.

A Bespoke frame, for Phil.
Boxy, like a television from the 1970s. And much like a television from the 1970s, only three channels.
The left eye. The right eye. And the mind’s eye.
We have no control over what Phil watches on the third.

Brydon in Black, worn here by @bowerjamie.
Dark and moody, with deliberately raw edges and visible cut lines. A little roughness beneath a glossy exterior.
Brydon is also available.

Between Lines.
Inspired by the sculptural forms of Isamu Noguchi, and the space between a flat sheet and a three-dimensional object.
Gentilly and Kagawa. Two frames, each laser-cut and folded from a single 0.7mm sheet of beta titanium. A few precise folds give the metal its shape; light and shadow do the rest.
Ion-plated for colour, then stone-washed for a softly worn patina.

Possibly our most distinctive Bespoke frame yet.
A small landscape to wear, with a jagged coastline of peaks and hollows.
Laminations run throughout, chamfered edges catch the light, and small rivets punctuate the swirls of Takiron acetate.
A spectacle in the truest sense.

Judd, in XXXXXXXXXXXL.
Join the photographer @timwalker as he captures the BAFTA award-winning comedian, broadcaster and writer, @chattyman - for Tim Walker’s Fairyland: Love and Legends, at @nationalportraitgallery.

Our home in King’s Cross, The Yard, was originally a stable.
Horses came and went, pulling carts of vinegar from the adjoining Crosse & Blackwell works through London and down to the docks, bound for the rest of the world.
As a nod to its equestrian past, we’ve made a pair of spectacles from horsehair (something, we admit, the world has never asked for).
A material long used in upholstery, brushes and the bows of musical instruments. Now available considerably closer to your nose.
