Creative upcycling, an exclusive concept developed by designer Thomas Lafont, combines eyewear expertise, eco-design, and creativity. Lafont uses materials from their previous collections to create exclusive acetate colors. The brand employs a thermo fusion process to mix 50% vintage colors with 50% new biomaterial, resulting in a unique and vibrant color palette only available through Lafont. All manufacturing processes take place in France.

“Reducing our environmental impact as a company is a fundamental goal,” says CEO Matthieu Lafont. To make it a reality, we have introduced a step-by-step approach. Considering the company’s everyday activities and the design and production of the collection, we are repurposing and recycling and using bio-acetate or castor oil-injected materials.”
