About
Hello, my name is João.
I bring in me the passion for working with wood. I make spectacles by hand, exclusive, using recycled wood, customizing them accordingly to the client’s story.
After traveling the world, working in various crafts, I decided to focus on the one that made me happy.
In switzerland, I discovered the art of working with wood and the magic of transforming this natural element into unique and personal art objects.
When I work, time stops. It’s just me, the tools and the wood. In the end, and without feeling the passage of time, another model emerges, different from all the others, but as special as the previous ones.
The Process
Select materials
Craft by hand
Unique glass
Perfection in every detail
The “João Spectacles” result from a totally manual process, from the design to the cut, ending with the final special touch for the finish. Several minutes, hours and days of focus, dedication and love result in the maximum perfection in each detail.
For its execution, recycled wood is used and mixed with different elements, according to each story, to craft a light and durable frame.
Unique like you
All these factors lead to the creation of super light, sturdy frames with pallets of charming colors in different models.
These are also the reasons why there are no 2 pairs of glasses alike, ever. All of them are differentiated by individual details and harmonies. Noble woods such as ebony, ziricote and mutene, among others, are also used, as well as other techniques with resins and other materials.
The “João Spectacles” are all numbered 1/1, also offering the possibility of being customized to the taste of each client, making the piece even more private and personalized.
My goal is to do different, unique and special things like you.
