Cubitts — spectacle makers, London

Almost nothing, carefully engineered. Our rimless spectacles strip the frame back to its essential structure, with precision-cut lenses held by slender titanium components for exceptional lightness and an uninterrupted field of view. Minimal on the face but exacting in construction, they are designed for comfort, clarity and a barely-there feel that still has character.

Our most expressive material. Premium cellulose acetate from Mazzucchelli and Takiron is cut, shaped and polished for depth of colour, durability and adjustability, then finished with custom OBE hardware.

Five times lighter than acetate, and built to endure. Made in Japan from almost pure titanium, weighing around 5 grams without lenses, with adjustable titanium nose pads, ion-plated finishes and cross-hatched temple tips for grip. Hypoallergenic, corrosion-resistant and exceptionally strong.

Old ideas, made rather precisely. Drawn from London spectacles of the late 1920s and 1930s, with dense Japanese Takiron acetate and our metal-to-metal Burleigh joint - an interwar hinge engineered for strength and a cleaner, more architectural line.

Mid-century Japanese design, redrawn for the present. A collection of acetate, steel and combination frames shaped by clarity, restraint and careful proportion, with fine metalwork, clean architectural lines and a lightness of touch throughout. Each frame is designed to sit comfortably, balance well and feel quietly distinctive on the face.

Fine lines with rather more strength than they suggest. A collection made from surgical-grade stainless steel, chosen for its durability, precision and lightness on the face. Can also be fitted with acetate Windsor rims, adding colour, depth and a softer edge to the metalwork.

Frames drawn with a sharper pencil. Cut from substantial 8mm cellulose acetate, with a chamfer sweeping across the brow, front and temples to turn a solid block into something more sculptural. Finished with prismatic pin-drilled Cubitts rivets, in silver and gold.

Frames with a raw CNC finish, crisp edges and minimal surface curvature expose the process normally polished away, drawing attention to the 50-plus stages behind every frame.

Spectacles reduced to their essentials. Just 8 grams, with ultra-high-density Mazzucchelli acetate fronts and beta-titanium temples inspired by Brâncuși’s Bird in Space, ion-coated in silver or gold for longevity. Some of the lightest spectacles we've ever made.

Crisp lines, classic proportions and restrained detailing create frames designed to complement rather than compete - the optical equivalent of a broken-in Oxford shirt or penny loafer.

More colour. More shape. More spectacle. Popism takes the bold geometry and graphic confidence of Pop Art and translates it into eyewear: flat fronts, saturated cellulose acetate, exaggerated proportions and deliberately boxy forms. Playful without being frivolous, each frame is carefully balanced and engineered for everyday wear, turning a familiar object into something a little louder, stranger and more joyful.
