The Passion Behind Shelter: A Love for Wood and Eyewear

At the heart of Shelter lies a deep passion for wood and eyewear. This enthusiasm extends to the unique knots, vibrant colors, and natural imperfections of wood—elements that make each piece special. Wood is not just a material; it’s an experience that demands to be understood and appreciated.

This passion is a founding pillar of the Shelter brand, uniting a team of dedicated individuals who share a love for precious woods. Whether up close or from afar, everyone involved—from the creative designers to the meticulous craftsmen—brings a unique zeal for their work. Each pair of glasses is the result of collaboration between the Shelter team and experts, ensuring unparalleled quality.

Shelter partners with Marotte, a French specialist in fine wood veneers, known for over 70 years of craftsmanship combined with modern technology. Their materials grace luxury interiors, from elegant apartments to high-end boutiques.

Our commitment to quality also extends to the artisans we collaborate with in France, whose unique skills create exceptional eyewear. Over time, we have built strong, trusting partnerships with workshops from Oyonnax to Jura.

Our esteemed opticians have been key allies since our inception, facilitating technical advancements through daily collaboration. Additionally, we work with industry pioneers like Mazzucelli, renowned for innovative acetate, and Dalloz, specialists in high-quality solar lenses. Together, we strive to elevate eyewear to new heights of excellence.
