Bespoke Eyewear Atelier

Made for one face. Yours.

Bespoke eyewear, designed and handcrafted in Rio de Janeiro by Miguel Zabotinsky.

Eyewear can correct vision. It can also reveal identity. At Zabo, every frame begins with a conversation, is designed for a unique facial geometry and slowly takes shape in the hands of a lunetier.

The Bespoke Journey

The bespoke journey

A sequence of listening, drawing and refinement, with no catalogue and no standard size.

Discover the process
01

Conversation

Understanding style, routine, references, preferences, needs and the client’s relationship with eyewear.

02

Facial study

Observing proportions, nasal bridge, distance between the eyes, brow line, temples, ears and overall balance.

03

Design and selection

Defining shape, dimensions, thickness, acetate, color and details together.

04

Handcrafting

Cutting, forming, refining, polishing, assembling and finishing the frame with individual attention at every stage. The entire process is carried out entirely by hand, with no use of CNC.

05

Fitting and refinement

Adjusting support, tilt, opening and curves for comfort, stability and visual balance.
