Discover the technological innovation
of Lightbird materials

Every Lightbird frame is born from the encounter between research, design and material quality. We select only materials that guarantee lightness, strength and a strong aesthetic identity, because glasses are not just a functional object: they are part of the way we observe the world.

A second life for materials

RECYCLED ACETATE

The future of materials also passes through their second life.
Re|Ace is a recycled acetate developed through an advanced process of recovering and transforming production waste. The material is selected, reworked and brought back into a new form, giving rise to a high-quality material ready to be processed again.
The result is an acetate that maintains all the aesthetic and technical characteristics required by high-end eyewear: chromatic depth, structural stability and refined textures.
For Lightbird, using Re|Ace means transforming what already exists into something new, reducing waste and enhancing every resource.
A material that combines design, innovation and responsibility, without compromise.

LIGHTBIRD uses 100% recycled ReAce acetate because it is consistent with its way of understanding lightness.
Thinking of a more sustainable future, we make a concrete gesture towards the environment and show respect for future generations.
ReAce uses materials with exclusive, unrepeatable colours, without the addition of solvents, dyes or chemical products.

CELLULOSE ACETATE

Acetate — Depth, colour, personality.

A living material, capable of transforming design into expression. Cellulose acetate is one of the most iconic materials in quality eyewear. Its structure makes it possible to obtain deep shades, refined transparencies and unique colour combinations, giving life to frames with a distinctive character.
Each pair of glasses starts from acetate sheets that are milled, shaped and polished with precision. A process that enhances the material and brings out its aesthetic qualities, creating soft surfaces and details rich in depth.
The result is a material that combines aesthetics, comfort and personality, transforming every frame into a balance between contemporary design and artisanal tradition.
