The Collection

In early 2020, Hugo decided to partner with an Italian company originally known for producing Bakelite objects for industrial purposes, such as electrotechnical elements, switches and electrical sockets, radio reception equipment.
Fabbricatorino was born in 1922 and its collection is recognized for its high-quality Italian craftsmanship and innovation. Generation Eyewear and Fabbricatorino aim to always search for avant-garde techniques and design inspiration. This summer collection is for those who do not need to follow trends but want to impose their own unique way of being.
It seduces a niche of curious and attentive individuals, who seek beauty and exclusivity in a product combined with the values of innovation and Italian artisanal tradition as well as an outstanding customer experience.
The frames are made from blocks of Italian Mazzuchelli acetate milled and entirely finished by hand. Inspired by generations of the past, some iconic styles were also remade to offer the best version of it. Polished through and artisanal tumbling process that consists of four 24-hour cycles. Smoothed from birch sticks, pumice stone and essential oils, the masterpieces acquire a unique shine and last over time. Hand-finished in every single detail, they capture the true the essence of the Italian artisanal tradition mixed with innovation.
