Aerospace Titanium · Handmade in Japan · Carl Zeiss Optics
We didn't set out to make sunglasses.
We set out to make the last pair you'll ever need.
Atelier Vingt-Deux® was founded by my father with one refusal — to accept that exceptional eyewear had to mean a famous logo stamped on a plastic frame, or a compromise on every material that actually matters.
Every frame is aerospace-grade titanium. Every lens is Carl Zeiss. Every hinge is engineered to outlast everything else you own. There is nothing here that isn't meant to be there.
Founded in Antwerp. Built in Fukui. Worn wherever quality is understood.

Grade 5 Ti-6Al-4V — the same alloy trusted in aircraft, surgical instruments, and space hardware. Approximately 20 grams on your face. Hypoallergenic by nature. Corrosion-proof for life. Built to outlast every trend, every season, every other frame you've ever owned.
Every Atelier Vingt-Deux® frame ships with genuine Carl Zeiss lenses — UV400 protection, blue light filtering, optical clarity that your ophthalmologist would select. This is not an upgrade option. It is the standard. Non-negotiable, built into the price.
Fukui Prefecture produces over 90% of Japan's eyewear — a craftsmanship tradition running since 1905. Each frame is shaped, fitted, and hand-finished by artisans who have spent lifetimes mastering this one discipline. The result is measurable in every micron.

The Fukui Prefecture has produced eyewear since 1905. Not as a factory output — as a discipline. The artisans who build Atelier Vingt-Deux® frames have spent careers understanding what titanium can do in the right hands.
Each frame passes through 22 distinct stages of manufacturing. Each hinge is hand-fitted. Each lens is ground to optical tolerances measured in fractions of a millimetre.
Your chosen Atelier Vingt-Deux® frame in aerospace-grade Grade 5 titanium, with Carl Zeiss lenses fitted and aligned.
A branded leather case, crafted to protect the frame with the same care that went into making it.
A velvet protective pouch for daily carrying — soft enough to never mark the lenses, discreet enough to belong anywhere.
Atelier Vingt-Deux® branded gift packaging. Every frame ships as if it's going to someone who deserves it.
Sculptor Jean-Claude Fahri takes aerospace titanium — the same alloy that shapes aircraft — and transforms it into wearable fine art. The result is a collaboration series unlike anything in eyewear.
These are not sunglasses with ornamentation. They are objects of art that happen to protect your vision.
