Lucas de Staël Glasses in NYC

Founded by designer Lucas de Staël in 2012, the brand developed from earlier experimental work within his independent studio and continues to operate from a Paris workshop located in a former printing factory transformed into a creative production laboratory.

The philosophy behind the brand focuses on transforming materials into wearable objects of design by combining traditional French craftsmanship with unconventional manufacturing processes. Frames are produced in small artisanal series rather than mass production environments, ensuring individuality and attention to detail in every piece

What sets Lucas de Staël apart is how each frame is built. Every design begins with a plate of high-grade surgical stainless steel, finished with a fine layer of titanium for strength and lightness, then clad in noble materials worked entirely by hand. Inside the Paris workshop, designers, jewelers, and artists develop their own tools and patented processes to reinterpret mineral, vegetal, and animal materials in ways conventional manufacturing cannot. That commitment has earned the brand France’s prestigious Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant and Fabriqué à Paris labels, along with multiple SILMO d’Or design awards.

HANDCRAFTED IN PARIS

Every Lucas de Staël frame is manufactured in the Paris atelier using a multidisciplinary process that brings together designers, artisans, and engineers working within the same studio environment. This collaborative workflow allows the brand to develop proprietary tools and production methods tailored specifically to its material-driven designs.

On average, each frame requires approximately thirty production steps, reflecting the brand’s commitment to precision craftsmanship and limited-series manufacturing.

The result is eyewear that feels closer to wearable design objects than conventional mass-produced frames.

Lucas de Staël is best understood through its materials. Departing from ordinary acetate and metal, the brand layers its titanium-coated steel frames with full-grain leather, ultra-thin stone veneer, fine wood, and rare organic skins — each collection built around a single signature material. Leather lines such as Minotaur use vegetable-tanned cowhide and goat; the Stratus and Petrus collections apply genuine slate and stone shaved thin enough to stay feather-light; Nemus showcases rosewood, walnut, oak, and even smoked cork; and exotic editions introduce stingray and other rare skins. The result is eyewear with texture, depth, and individuality that no two pairs ever share.

At Konstantin, as an authorized Lucas de Staël dealer, selected Lucas de Staël eyewear collections are available with professional fitting and personalized lens consultation. Whether you are searching for statement optical frames or distinctive handcrafted sunglasses, Lucas de Staël offers a unique interpretation of contemporary luxury eyewear shaped by Parisian craftsmanship and material experimentation.

Because each frame is shaped almost entirely by hand, Lucas de Staël is produced in genuinely limited series — a single artisan completes only about three frames a day — rather than by mass production. The natural materials are ethically sourced and finished to last, giving every pair a character that deepens with wear. At Konstantin Vision in NYC, our licensed opticians help you experience these wearable art objects in person, guide you to the collection and material that suit you best, and fit your prescription with the precision the frames deserve.
