PROTOCOL // 03 | THE ANATOMICAL CONSULTATION

Architectural Alignment & Facial Symmetry

“A frame should not decorate the face. It must complete its natural geometry.”

Standard eyewear assumes standard morphology. Our private styling session deconstructs traditional fit through precise caliper measurements of nasion angle, pupillary baseline, and temporal breadth.

Over 45 uninterrupted minutes, an optical stylist curates three archetype frameworks from our independent European archive, tailored specifically to your bone architecture and optical prescription demands.

01 / NASION & BRIDGE

Bridge Anatomy

Weight dispersal mapped against nasal ridge curvature for zero-pressure wear.

02 / PROPORTIONS

Orbital Balance

Pantoscopic tilt tuned to align rim curvature with the natural brow trajectory.

03 / PALETTE

Material Tone

Cured Japanese acetate and titanium finishes matched to undertone and complexion.
