At The Spectacle Factory, we believe eyewear should be more than functional — it should be art you wear on your face. That’s why our Eyewear of the Week is the incredible Lucas de Staël Minotaure, a frame that fuses natural materials, avant-garde design, and completely custom craftsmanship.

Materials That Tell a Story

Lucas de Staël is renowned for his visionary use of natural and raw materials, transforming eyewear into sculptural pieces. The Minotaure model chosen by our client is no exception:

• Front: Hand-finished Brazilian slate – a material rarely seen in eyewear, chosen for its organic texture, strength, and earthy elegance.

• Temples: Wrapped in genuine iguana leather, adding a tactile luxury and exotic detail.

• Interior: Fully lined in premium goat leather, making the frame feel just as good as it looks.

This isn’t just a pair of glasses — it’s an object of craft and individuality.

Fully Bespoke Customisation

To complement the distinctive frame, the client chose a lens setup that’s equally daring and refined:

• Lenses: Customised using IOT freeform lens technology — precision-designed for the wearer’s exact prescription and lifestyle.

• Tint: A subtle yet striking 40% salmon gradient tint, adding warmth and softness to the overall look.

• Mirror Coating: Finished with a bold ruby mirror, offering visual flair and excellent light control, especially in bright conditions.

• Ruby Transitions® technology — meaning they adapt to changing light conditions while maintaining a warm, rose-tinted hue. Indoors, the subtle tint adds personality and softness; outdoors, the lenses darken into a vibrant ruby tone, seamlessly blending fashion with function.

The result? A one-of-a-kind fusion of natural elegance and high-performance optics — designed to be worn, admired, and talked about.

Bespoke Eyewear, Tailored by The Spectacle Factory

Every detail of this frame was curated in partnership with our client, from material choices to lens finish — because no two faces (or styles) are alike.

Whether you're looking for luxury eyewear that tells a story or want to design your own custom piece, we’re here to bring that vision to life.
