Wooden Spectacles with flex hinges

WooDone was founded in 2011 by Thomas Oberegger and Klaus Tavella. The young entrepreneurs are impressed from the connection of a thousands of years existing raw material with a modern design.
Every year WooDone produce several new models. They will be presented at the largest optical trade shows in Paris, Munich and Milan.
At the moment WooDone distribute the wooden frames in 5 different countries like Italy, Germany, Austria, Spain and Switzerland.
WooDone frames are 100% made from natural wood. Only the new developed spring hinge, made in a special alloy to improve the durability and function, is the exception.
Another world-innovation is the surfacing of the front part and the bracket from one piece of plywood. This ensures that the structure of the wood runs continuously through the entire frame. For this reason it isn't visible any interruption between the front part and the bracket.

The WooDone wooden frame weights about 15 grams and is considered very light while wearing. All models of WooDone frames can be used with prescription or sunglasses lenses.
As the frame from WooDone is a natural material, there should be followed some care instructions.

In case of pollution by make-up, sweat and dust it can be cleaned any time with a damp cloth, but should not be held under running or in still water. This can cause brittleness of the glasses and lead to breakage. Normal rain has no negative effect on the frame.
The wooden glasses can be worn from -10 degrees celsius up to +35 degrees celsius; as it is a wood product, can lead to extreme variations in temperature embrittlement.

For fractures of the frame due by dropping, violent objections, etc. WooDone can assume no liability.

WooDone frames are produced exclusively in local wood from South Tyrol. South Tyrolean wood stands for highest quality and planned circular deforestation, without damaging the nature.
By using local wood we also contribute to a sustainable and non damaging rainforest wood processing. We therefore support the so called “triple zero” effect: zero emission, zero energy and zero km routes. The South Tyrolean wood frames are produced in three different types of wood: walnut, cherry and wenge.(is a tropical timber, very dark in color with a distinctive figure and a strong partridge wood pattern)
The processing is done exclusively with environmental friendly and hypoallergenic products. Also the varnish which protect the wooden frame from wetness, sweat and other impurities, has been specially created for the wood glasses. Because of their special properties it is now used also for wooden toys.

The wooden frames WooDone have aquired all EU certifications.

Wooden Spectacles with flex hinges

After months of study, many prototypes and the creation of a special spring hinge, we have now managed as first in the world to provide a wooden frame with a spring hinge. The spring hinge offers a comfortable fit of the glasses, and an unique elastic functionality. A sliding of the frame while wearing is therefore no longer possible.
