Theo Azurite glasses

Theo is an independent Belgian eyewear brand created by opticians Wim Somers and Patrick Hoet, with its first collection presented in 1989. The idea was simple: they were tired of the conventional frames available at the time and wanted to make something genuinely different. That attitude has stayed with Theo ever since. The brand became known for unusual shapes, strong colours, clever constructions and a sense of humour that sets its frames apart from more traditional eyewear. Designed in Antwerp and produced in specialist European workshops, Theo has always treated glasses as objects of design rather than simply accessories. Over the years the brand has also worked with outside designers and young creative talent, helping keep the collections experimental and unpredictable. Vintage Theo pieces are especially interesting because many of them capture the more radical side of European eyewear design from the 1990s and early 2000s. This Theo Azurite frame was created in collaboration with Belgian fashion designer Tim Van Steenbergen as part of a mineral-inspired collection exploring layered colours, textures and organic forms. Its sculpted acetate front combines deep blue, green, burgundy and amber tones, contrasted by vivid orange and black metal temples. The softly rounded shape and flowing brow line give the frame a strong artistic presence, while adjustable nose pads provide a precise and comfortable fit.
