About In the Officina storage furnishings, the Mimetica finish - with its particular graphic texture that resembles marble - is reinterpreted by bold chromatic contrasts. The camouflage effect (obtained from a particular veneering technique) enhances the linear profiles of the bar and low cabinet models. The distinctive elements that distinguish the different pieces arrive from the world of repair shops: handles, bolts, and wheels are embellished by polished steel. The veneer and the metal care available in different finishing. Blockboard wood structure veneered by Mimetica finishing. Interior and shelves lacquered. Metal clamp handles. Metal base with cart shape. Customization OptionsPlease inquire about customization options for finishing, size and style. Request Customization

John Ruskin told his students: “Go out into your garden, or into the road, and pick up the first round or oval stone you can find, not very white, nor very dark…” Donuts make a great modern substitute for an easy, observable subject matter for art sketches and Roz Stendahl teaches us why.

Yes, really. We make spectacle frames. A rare skill to have, especially when other “spectacle makers” are better at making social-noise than making glasses frames. Because the reality is, there’s simply no shortcuts when it comes to learning a craft. Which is why it’s taken us the better part of a decade to learn how to do what we do here at Banton Frameworks. About us Spectacle makers: Lucy Ross & Jamie Bartlett | Banton, Scotland What are your names? Lucy Ross & Jamie Bartlett. Where did you study? We both studied at Glasgow Caledonian University. Interestingly GCU is the only university in Scotland which offers a BSc (Hons) Optometry course. This was sheer coincidence, and inadvertently, it was the university’s optical clinic which became an integral source of inspiration for the development for our first spectacle frames we ever made. Thanks to the kind support of technical officer Gavin Hill and head lecturer Glyn Walsh, we were gently introduced to the technical and practical aspects of optical frames. This is where it all began back in 2012. The south façade of Glasgow Caledonian University | Cowcaddens Road, Glasgow G4 0BA Why make spectacles? Excuse the pun, but it was very much an unplanned collision of design and optometry that really opened our eyes as designers. On one side you have the fashion element. How glasses look, their material, shape, colour and construction. As designers, it’s a fascinating, facial accessory that we all know so well. On the other, glasses have an inescapable medical requirement. They have to assist your vision and perform-well each day you wear them for at least two years between eye exams. Fortunately for us, the on-site GCU optical clinic became a hunting-ground for the mechanical workings of spectacles. During many “pestering sessions” the optical staff and lecturers were kind enough to demonstrate the handling and dispensing of glasses frames. It was a curious endeavour which provided a first-hand understanding of both the design and optical elements of eyewear. When did you graduate? In 2012, we both qualified with BA Hons in International Product Design degrees. Combining our joint-qualifications and our first-hand exposure to optics, this sparked our pursuit of optical frame design and manufacture. This is when we began our journey as spectacle makers. How did you learn to make glasses frames? Having studied Product Design together, we both had experience in 3D modelling, prototyping and manufacturing processes. For Lucy’s final year project, we teamed-up to make some rudimentary glasses frame from stock-material such as birch laminate ply and sheet acrylic. This was the catalyst that got us wondering if you could make better, more refined glasses frames. After graduating, we swiftly built a small workshop at the bottom of Lucy’s garden where we continued to practice and hone our skills. Since 2012, we’ve invested in numerous machines, tools and components which has allowed to design make our own spectacles and sunglasses frames on-site. Jamie Bartlett | Inserting rivets into an acetate frame front | January 2015. Our mission Our frames aren't just any old import that came from somewhere else. They come straight from the hands of the people who made them, right here in Glasgow. Yep, our hands. But why? The UK once produced over five million spectacle frames a year, from an industry of nearly a thousand eyewear factories. Today, very few of those original factories remain. But you can help us change this... because we’re building a new one. To make this whole thing work, we've followed the same three principles since the beginning. Designed well. Made well. In the UK. That's why we only use the best of materials and process which we've learned to love over the past 7 years. Even if you care half as much as us, you'll love them too. How we manufacture Lucy Ross | Aligning sheet acetate within a CNC enclosure prior to precision-machining into spectacle frames. Our materials To make good things, you need good ingredients right? That's why we use the best acetate from Europe's best supplier. Don't freak out, this plastic isn't an ocean threat. Acetate is an organic-polymer made from one of the most naturally abundant compounds on earth; cellulose. Acetate has the ability to leave this earth. Hopefully before the time you do. Available in endless colours and patterns, acetate looks and feels great on your skin for many years to come. Venturing forth, year after year, your glasses have been made with this exquisite material we want you to get geeky about. Tortoise acetate being sliced into sheets | Image credit: Mazzucchelli 1849 Spa. Our quality Nestled in the northern Italy is the incredible factory that makes our acetate. Whilst they're world-renowned for the manufacture and distribution of cellulose acetate, this global pioneer is charmingly, still a family business. 6 generations and counting. Whilst there are many other acetate manufacturers, they're arguably the best at what they do. Amongst the industry, their acetates have been used in optics manufacture since 1849. This is why we only ever use their acetate to make our frames. How our acetate is made Our lens laboratory Over the years, we've become pretty good at making spectacle frames. But the lenses? We leave that to our trusted lens-partner Lensology. From start to finish, they make high-quality optical and sunglasses lenses in-house from various materials such as CR39, polycarbonte and Trivex. To the highest standards, Lensology make your prescription lenses right here in the UK. This why we only fit their lenses into each of our handmade spectacles and sunglasses frames. Spectacle frame-fronts hanging from pegs inside the Banton Frameworks workshop. Our promise Making glasses ain't easy, but keeping a promise is another thing entirely. We promise to build a new eyewear factory to make you the best glasses we can. By doing so, you can be that one person in three. “Every year, an estimated average of 15 million adult spectacle wearers in the uk buy a new pair of glasses. If one in three of these people bought a pair of uk made spectacles, our industry could retain its previous output of 5 million spectacle frames a year”. Thanks for stopping by. You and us together? We can do great things.

Dalilips designed by Salvador Dali for BD design. Two-seat sofa made of polyethylene with rotational moulding process. Color red. Measures: 100 x 170 x 73 H cm. Is the famous sofa in the shape of a mouth which the artist created together with Oscar Tusquets in 1972 for the Mae West room at the Dalí Museum in figures. More than thirty years had to pass before it became possible to put this sensual design into Industrial Production. Thanks to polyethylene rotational moulding technology using a special process which gives the piece a slightly delicate feel, it has been possible to reproduce the realism and expressive force which Dalí dreamt of for this large-scale mouth which you can sit on or sink into.
The hotel and restaurant supply company, W. H. Davenhall was founded in New Hampshire in 1918. This sign dates from the late 1920's or 1930's. The sign maker cleverly designed the text around a very large graphic of a cup and saucer, which could be seen clearly over a block away. Excellent original condition Some minor wear and old splits. No restoration or repair. Height 38.5" Width 38" Depth 2.5"
The most out-of-nowhere thing to launch was a series of waxed aluminum cabinets, each set with an semi-precious stone that dates back millions of years.
