Eyewood: A symphony of nature and innovation in Eyewear

Welcome to a journey into the heart of the Scandinavian forests where a seed of innovation has been planted. It’s a journey that has led us to unearth the unique blend of nature’s timeless beauty with cutting-edge design. This is Eyewood, a creation that combine the warmth of walnut wood with the robustness of high-quality acetate to deliver a pair of sunglasses unlike any other.

In a world filled with the mundane and generic, we at Zerpico strive to deliver exceptional uniqueness. The Eyewood project is born from a passion for innovation, a deep-rooted love for nature, and a desire to infuse sustainability into the world of fashion. We want to invite you into our journey, to share the thrill of crafting a product that is as authentic as it is functional.

The design and materials we use

Our design philosophy with Eyewood is quite simple – combine nature’s elegance with human creativity. The result? Sunglasses that are both a fashion statement and a testament to our commitment to sustainability.

The temples of the Eyewood sunglasses are carved meticulously from walnut wood, hand-selected for its unique grain patterns and natural aesthetics. Each piece of wood we use tells a story, a tale of the tranquility of the forest that it hails from, ensuring your sunglasses are as individual as you are.

The front, made from high-quality acetate, provides a harmonious counterpoint. This durable material is celebrated for its flexibility and strength, characteristics that lend themselves beautifully to the rigors of daily usage. It subtly complements the walnut temples, drawing attention to the natural wood grain while preserving a sleek, modern aesthetic.

Frame choices – Find your perfect fit

Individuality is at the heart of fashion. With Eyewood, we celebrate this individuality by offering three distinct frame styles: the classic wayfarer, the ever-trendy round frame, and the bold square frame.

Each frame is carefully designed to reflect different styles and personalities. Do you prefer the timeless appeal of the wayfarer, the hip allure of the round frame, or the modern sophistication of the square frame? Whichever you choose, Eyewood’s frames are created to complement your style, not dictate it.

At Zerpico, we believe that sunglasses are more than just functional items. They’re an integral part of your personality, your style statement, and an extension of your individuality. With Eyewood, we’re giving you the chance to express yourself in three classic frame styles – wayfarer, round, and square. Each of these styles carries a rich history and unique characteristics that make them special.

Wayfarer – A Classic Never Goes Out of Style

First introduced in the early 1950s, wayfarer sunglasses quickly became a symbol of a cultural revolution. Celebrities and artists alike were seen donning these sunglasses, leading to their popularity that hasn’t waned even after decades.

Our Eyewood wayfarer design carries the same classic aesthetic, fused with our innovative approach. It’s versatile and timeless, with a universally flattering shape that works well with most face shapes. They’re perfect for those who appreciate the classics and want an accessory that transcends trends and time.

Round – The Bohemian Spirit

The round frame has been synonymous with freethinkers and creative minds ever since John Lennon popularized them in the ’60s. This frame style has come to symbolize an artistic and unconventional approach to life.

The Eyewood round frame maintains this spirit of individuality and creativity. It offers a bold and distinct look, suited to those with square or rectangular faces. If you’re someone who dares to be different and loves to express your unique style, our round frame is the perfect fit for you.

Square – The Modern Edge

Square frame sunglasses, with their sharp lines and bold angles, have been the hallmark of modern fashion since their introduction in the late 20th century. This style is often associated with an edgy, contemporary look and is preferred by those looking to make a strong style statement.

Our square frame Eyewood sunglasses carry forward this modern aesthetic with a twist of nature, using our high-quality acetate front and walnut wood temples. This frame style complements those with round or oval faces, adding structure and enhancing your facial features.

DIY Lens change

What’s style without functionality? At Zerpico, we understand that your needs can change as swiftly as the tides. One moment you’re basking under the summer sun, the next you’re cosying up with a book indoors. We designed Eyewood with the ability to change lenses easily at home.

This DIY lens change capability is not just about flexibility, but also about extending the life of your eyewear. Instead of replacing your sunglasses when your needs change, simply switch lenses. This design approach marries practicality and sustainability, ensuring your sunglasses adapt to your needs instead of imposing on your lifestyle.

Lens options – The freedom of choice

The true beauty of Eyewood lies in its adaptability. We understand that our backers are as diverse as nature itself, each with unique needs and preferences. To cater to this, we’ve introduced an expansive lens collection.

With Eyewood, you have the freedom to choose from up to 25 different lenses. Whether you’re looking to stand out with mirrored lenses, prefer the versatility of solid photochromic lenses, or need the protection of anti-blue light lenses, we’ve got you covered. 

All Eyewood sunglasses come equipped with standard gray lenses as a sleek and versatile base. Want to add more flair? You can choose additional lenses from our extensive selection to tailor your pledge to your unique style.

Solid Lenses

Mirrored Lenses

Our mirrored lenses are more than just a style statement. While they lend a distinctive look to your sunglasses, they also reduce glare and eye strain by reflecting light away, making them ideal for situations with high levels of light, like water sports or winter activities.

Photochromic Lenses & Anti-Blue Light Lenses

For those who crave versatility, our solid photochromic lenses are a perfect choice. These lenses adapt to changing light conditions. In bright sunlight, they darken, providing excellent protection against UV rays. As the light intensity decreases, the lenses lighten, ensuring optimal vision in all lighting conditions.

In today’s digital world, our eyes are constantly bombarded with blue light from screens. Long-term exposure to blue light can lead to digital eye strain and sleep disturbances. That’s why we’ve introduced anti-blue light lenses. They filter out the harmful blue light, allowing you to use your digital devices comfortably and safely.

Gradient Lenses (Stretch Goal #1)

The diverse selection of lenses ensures that Eyewood sunglasses can cater to various needs, situations, and personal styles. This is more than just eyewear; this is a personal accessory that adapts to you, your lifestyle, and your needs.

Prepared for Prescription and Anti-Blue Light lenses

Your comfort and vision needs are at the forefront of our design process at Zerpico. We understand that many of our backers require prescription lenses or have specific needs like protection from harmful blue light emitted by digital screens. That’s why we have ensured Eyewood is prepared to accommodate these requirements seamlessly.

Our sunglasses allows you to fit prescription lenses or anti-blue light lenses into the frame. This means that you can use your Eyewood sunglasses as regular eyewear when needed without compromising on style or comfort.

Along with these lenses in the frame, you can choose to fit sunglass lenses in front, allowing you to transition effortlessly between different settings. Headed outdoors? Just fit the sunglass lenses on, and you’re ready to face the sun while ensuring your vision is not compromised.

This flexibility is particularly useful for people with prescription lenses who often struggle to find stylish, high-quality sunglasses that can accommodate their vision needs. With Eyewood, you don’t need to choose between clear vision and protection from the sun – you can have both in one stylish package.

Customize your own Eyewood experience

Innovation at Zerpico doesn’t stop at offering different frames and lenses. We go a step further, providing you the power to mix and match your preferred frame style with your choice of lens. This means you have a say in designing your perfect pair of sunglasses, a pair that reflects your personality and suits your needs.

With Eyewood, we’re not just selling sunglasses. We’re offering an experience of creativity, individuality, and personal expression. Choose your frame, select your lens, and create your unique Eyewood experience.

Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast, a digital nomad, or someone who simply appreciates good design, Eyewood has something for you. With a plethora of lenses to choose from, and the ability to easily change them, you have the power to truly make your Eyewood sunglasses your own.

Hyper extendable hinges

Every person is unique, and so should be their sunglasses. That’s why we’ve incorporated hyperextendable hinges into the Eyewood design. These hinges are capable of extending beyond the standard range, ensuring a comfortable fit for everyone, regardless of face shape or size.

Say goodbye to the annoying pressure on the temples or discomfort behind your ears that comes from poorly fitting sunglasses. With Eyewood, every moment is a pleasure, a gentle embrace that moves with you, making your sunglasses feel like a natural extension of you.

Lightweight comfort

Durability and strength often come with a hefty price tag – weight. But not with Eyewood. Despite their robust construction and quality materials, Eyewood sunglasses tip the scales at a feather-light 28 grams. This lightweight design ensures that your sunglasses are as comfortable as they are stylish. You can wear them all day without feeling weighed down – quite literally.

The journey ahead

We’re standing at the edge of a new era in eyewear, looking at a future that’s brighter, greener, and more sustainable. As we embark on this Kickstarter campaign, we invite you to share this vision and join us on this journey.

By backing Eyewood, you’re not just getting a pair of state-of-the-art sunglasses. You’re investing in a more sustainable fashion industry, promoting the use of natural materials, and encouraging responsible consumption.
