BRAND SPOTLIGHT: TAVAT EYEWEAR
At Sphere Optometry, we love housing eyewear collections that embody both innovation and timeless craftsmanship. One of our newet collections is TAVAT Eyewear, an independent, family-owned company based in the foothills of the Dolomites. Founded in 2010, TAVAT was born from a vision to create eyewear that makes a statement through unparalleled quality and design.
A Legacy of Craftsmanship
Each TAVAT frame is meticulously handcrafted in small batches by skilled artisans in Northeast Italy—a region known as the “birthplace of eyewear,” with the first wearable glasses appearing in the 13th century. This area is steeped in history and tradition, where old-world workmanship meets cutting-edge technology. Crafting a single frame can take up to nine months and involves over one hundred handmade steps, ensuring both artistic and technical excellence. By partnering exclusively with independent, family-owned factories, TAVAT guarantees that each piece meets the highest standards of quality and detail.
The Iconic SoupCan Collection
One of TAVAT’s most recognizable innovations is the SoupCan Collection. Inspired by the way aviation goggles were made in 1930s America—crafted from repurposed soup cans—this collection embodies a spirit of innovation and adventure. Each frame in the SoupCan series is a testament to TAVAT’s dedication to blending historical inspiration with modern design, resulting in eyewear that is both distinctive and functional.
