ARTHOD is an independent French eyewear brand known for its blend of timeless elegance, sustainability, and use of innovative materials like medical-grade acrylic resin called Hexetate. The brand, established by Julien Vansteeger and Sylvie Savatdy, merges classic French design with modern technicality. 

Brand Philosophy and Design

ARTHOD eyewear draws inspiration from Art Deco graphics, art, history, and past lifestyles to create timeless, sophisticated designs. The frames feature clean lines, subtle details, and a fusion of contemporary and vintage styles. The name ARTHOD itself is a tribute to French eyewear history and the cradle of its birth in the Jura mountains. 

Materials and Sustainability

A key feature of ARTHOD eyewear is its commitment to sustainability and health-conscious materials. 

• Hexetate: Many frames are crafted from medical-grade acrylic resin (Hexetate), an innovative material that is BPA-free, 10% lighter, and more stable than traditional acetate.

• High-Density Acetate: The brand also uses high-density acetate, which offers strength and stability.
