7PLIS

Valuing old skateboard boards used to make glasses and accessories "premium" is the idea a little crazy but very ingenious Florent Baraban, optician-glasses, creator of the brand 7PLIS.

Indeed each skateboard board lends itself wonderfully for the frame design, the shape of the skateboard is thus preserved to give the frame an effective maintenance and optimum comfort for the wearer.
On the other hand the initial color of each board is also preserved, these being made of 7PLIS maple more or less colored.
Then traces of wear can also be valued to bring a particular singularity to each creation and allows to realize that the piece of wood has been skated for hours before you correct the sight or you protect it from the sun.
To finish the wood material being made of several plies allows a great resistance and a real lightness, making it an ideal companion for the manufacture of eyeglass frames (corrective or protective).

It is with the specialized expertise of the eyewear industry and the passion of the riders that the 7PLIS team today thinks and manufactures each pair of glasses, watches and accessories. Each of our creations receives a special attention in order to bring an optimal comfort to the one who will revive this old piece of trampled wood.

The manufacturing processes are diverse and varied. Between sanding, drilling, cutting, polishing, through varnishing, assembly and assembly of glasses!
Each frame is then engraved with a unique serial number just like its corresponding case. On the latter is also written the name and surname of the skater who practiced the board as well as the best trick (figure) that he realized with before it is recycled.

The colors of the frames are many and varied and depend directly on our arrivals of boards (skaters and pro skaters local). Indeed a skateboard consists of 7 plies of maple more or less colored.

Finally we cut and we focus ourselves solar glasses and / or correctors (made in France) in our Lorraine workshop.
