The Artisan Behind the Frame: Eyewear Crafting in France
Tucked away in a quiet village in the French Alps, Florent Lassalle is preserving a rare craft: making glasses frames entirely by hand. In a world dominated by mass production, his workshop feels like a time capsule—filled with tools, textures, and patience. Each frame is shaped, sanded, and assembled with meticulous care, often using wood or bio-acetate, resulting in unique pieces that reflect both precision and soul. This photo series captures the intimate process behind the craft—moments of concentration, the raw beauty of materials, and the bond between maker and object. It’s a quiet tribute to slowness, tradition, and the enduring power of making things well.
