Ottica Urbani is a historical atelier and brand based in Venice, founded in 1953 and managed by Fosca Urbani. In this workshop located in San Marco, in the heart of Venice, they design and craft handmade eyewear with a distinctive ironic and contemporary style.
Each pair of glasses is fully customizable, and the always original designs make these artefacts actual collector’s pieces: millings and engraved words, symbols and icons make each model a mean for uniquely expressing one’s personality. Alongside cellulose acetate glasses we find more precious lines, made out of water buffalo horn or wood, treated with natural waxes and plant-based pigments. Their continuous experimentation with techniques and materials results in unique and unmistakable craft creations, often embellished with unusual fabrics or Murano glass murrine inserts, making these accessories even more vibrant and original.
