HOW THE STELUDA’S ARE MADE....
Martzi Eyewear founder Davide Marciano, had the design in his head for a while, and then began to sketch it out on paper. The sketch was then shown to the engineers who ended up making a prototype, and after some final meticulous changes, ended up with the final prototype.
The Steluda unisex frame comes in 3 different stunning acetate colours:
1. Gloss black frame with gloss black temples that have a crystal clear layer in the inside, showing the strong and durable Italian steelwork.
2. Havana, which really comes alive when the sun hits it, showing off the bright yellow and reddish-brown colours.
3. Tortoise, classic acetate colour which will never go out of fashion.
The manufacturer sources a high quality thermoplastic acetate from renowned Italian acetate manufacturer Mazzucchelli. It is completely biodegradable with a higher percentage of materials coming from natural sources.
Traditional milling machines and laser technology are used to get the precise cuts and curves for the Steluda frame. A four-stage grind and polish process that takes up to 120 hours (five days) to complete is then taken place. The factory also assemble and polish each individual frame as part of their quality control process.
Coming from one of Australia’s last remaining eyewear manufacturers, the Steluda frames go through a thorough 60 step process from start to completion, involving high-precision computerised machines, skilled hands, and also quality control at each individual step.
The factory uses machinery with cutting edge technology from France to shape the 100 percent eco-friendly acetate materials into the final product.
The manufacturer sources a high quality thermoplastic acetate from renowned Italian acetate manufacturer Mazzucchelli. It is completely biodegradable with a higher percentage of materials coming from natural sources.
The frames are shaped using various widths of acetate sheets and then specialised machines compose them into required thicknesses to be cut into strips. They are then shaped with more precision machinery.
The engineers then use mechanical and manual sequential heat treatment processes to customize the design, and then an automated tumbling phase to refine the frame.
The last step involves hand-smoothing, polishing and attaching the temples to the frames and finishing off with the insertion of the Zeiss Lens.
