Sculptural Acetate Meets Minimalist Titanium
The Sketchy is a retro-futuristic rectangular frame that balances high-volume acetate with lightweight industrial metals. By utilizing a Clear (Crystal) acetate front, the frame highlights the internal "architecture" of the design, making the craftsmanship of the bridge and joints visible. It is a minimalist yet avant-garde piece tailored for those who appreciate high-concept French design.
Technical Craftsmanship & Material Details
Mazzucchelli Italian Acetate: The front is hand-sculpted from premium cellulose acetate from the renowned Mazzucchelli factory. In the Clear colorway, the material is polished to a glass-like transparency, showcasing the purity of the acetate.
Pure Japanese Titanium Temples: To contrast the chunky front, the Sketchy uses signature ultra-slim temples made from Grade 5 Japanese Titanium. This provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and hypoallergenic properties.
Scupltural Milling: Thierry Lasry uses a process more akin to sculpture than traditional cutting. The acetate is worked out in volume to create beveled edges and varied thicknesses that catch and refract light through the clear material.
Logo-less Design: Adhering to the brand's philosophy, there are no external logos. The brand identity is conveyed through the distinct silhouette and a discreet engraving inside the temple.
Fit & Engineering
Mixed-Media Balance: The use of titanium temples acts as a functional counterbalance to the thick acetate front, preventing the frames from feeling "front-heavy" and reducing pressure on the nose bridge.
Integrated Bridge: The 23mm bridge is carved directly from the acetate block, providing a smooth, continuous surface area that offers a secure and stable fit for medium-to-wide bridge profiles.
Multi-Barrel Hinges: High-tension hinges are anchored into the thick acetate front, ensuring the transition between the clear front and metallic temples remains rigid and perfectly aligned.
Technical Dimensions
Expert Note: The Sketchy is an ideal "bridge" frame—it is small enough for high-precision optical use but bold enough to be worn as a statement sunglass. The Clear colorway is specifically recommended for Progressive Lenses as it doesn't create a visual "break" on the face, making the transition between lens zones feel more natural to the wearer.
