PRODUCT DESIGN FOLLOWS A FUNCTIONAL LINE OF SYMBIOSIS BETWEEN BODY AND OBJECT.

Product

OUR GLASSES ARE MADE IN FRANCE, JURA. THEY COMBINE THE KNOW-HOW OF CRAFTMEN WITH CONTEMPORARY TECHNOLOGIES.

MADE IN “super” FRANCE

Our products are made in France, Jura, the region where the eyewear industry has started during the 19th century. Parasite Design combines the Jura craftsmanship and know-how with the latest technologies to produce complex frames.

FUTURISTIC TECHNOLOGIES

Comfort and lightness are the driving forces of our product design.
The quality of our products is exceptional and explore 3 specific technologies:
STEELSKIN – ANTI-MATTER – LED-VISION

The active holding “stereo system” patent allows us to create outstanding eyewear in term of style and confort.

STEELSKIN

The STEELSKIN material is a lightweight stainless steel, both flexible and hypoallergenic. Our proprietary method of cutting and engraving by photoengraving, allows us to produce rarely seen intricate and beautiful designs.

ANTI-MATTER

The Anti-Matter stems from a new technological process called 3D printing. A laser beam polymerizes layer after layer a polyamide powder to build a solid compact object, strong, flexible and lightweight.

LED VISION

The LED technology is based on a thin polyamide crystal structure, subjected to a vacuum metal treatment on one of its side. By modifying the density of the vacuum metal treatment we can obtain a variety of iridescent colors throughout the entire spectrum. We are also using this technology on some of our lenses.

STEREO

The patented active holding system called STEREO was invented in 2002 by Hugo Martin. The concept is the foundation of Parasite existence.
This system does not hold on the ears, it literally grabs and fits the face and offers exceptional comfort and holding.

This is the only frame that fits the face without gravity. Welcome into space.
