The Optical Foundry

Performance meets style. Featuring Grip-Fit Technology and functional, lightweight materials, Article One blends athletic innovation with elevated aesthetic design.

Bold, expressive, and crafted with intention. Founded in 1997 in Minnesota, OGI blends fashion-forward design with premium Japanese craftsmanship empowering wearers to show their true colors.​

Small in size, big in personality. Durable, playful, confidence-building eyewear crafted for everyday adventures and young creatives.

Radical minimalism. Sleek metal styles with subtle color, barely-there lines, and refined details — inspired by California coastal light and studio-born artistry.

Quiet luxury rooted in Golden Age American charm and modern European refinement. Crafted in Japan with meticulous detail and marked by its signature fleur-de-lis emblem.​

A capsule collection where Jazz Age glamour meets modern precision. Embellished with Austrian crystals and hand-finished for lasting brilliance and unapologetic sparkle.​

Luxury ready-to-wear readers, including the iconic Gels Original. Ultra-light, comfortable, and designed with New York fashion sensibility.

Inspired by the energy of New York City. Polished, accessible eyewear that celebrates individuality with smart, timeless style.
