Theo Eye Witness YW 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 frame is part of Theo’s experimental Eye-Witness collection, the YW transforms a perspective drawing into a wearable three-dimensional illusion. Made in Belgium from lightweight metal, the frame features a deep matte-purple finish traced by a fine fluorescent-pink contour. The two subtly different lens shapes measure 43 mm and 46 mm in height, creating an intentionally asymmetric and distinctly Theo character.
