Sixty-five-year-old Doriano Mattellone from the sleepy Italian region of Friuli Venezia Giulia is not your typical trendsetter. Born into a family business of industrial woodworking, it wasn’t until a chance meeting in 2008 with designer Matteo Ragni that W-Eye was born. “Each frame is crafted from seven layers of wood and two layers of aluminium giving them flexibility, strength and lightness,” says Mattellone. The result is a hingeless one-piece frame that relies on the natural pliability of wood for comfort and fit. For this season, a hinged unisex collection – W-Eye H – was introduced, featuring typically smooth, linear styles, while for women looking to channel the glamour of the 1950s and 1960s, the Superlativa features cat-eyes with a mother-of-pearl finish.
