TAVAT
Crafted using techniques old and new
The Tavat Touch
Tavat is an independent, family-owned company based in the foothills of the Dolomites. They specialize in providing technical eyewear, with each frame produced in small batches by some of the best eyewear artisans in Northern Italy.
The ambition of TAVAT was to keep developing innovative products with the ‘TAVAT Touch,’ a perceivable technical imprint, which can be experienced in every frame. With each style, Tavat continue to test the limits of manufacturing by using techniques old and new, without compromising in any detail. Their commitment hasn’t changed to this day, with the designer Roberta remaining true to this vision.
Design Inspiration
At TAVAT, design is at the heart of everything they do. Eyewear is not just a functional accessory but a form of self-expression. TAVAT’s collections are a celebration of innovation, where every frame reflects a seamless blend of artistic vision and technical mastery.
Inspired by the landscapes of their home in the Dolomites, they push the boundaries of eyewear design, challenging conventional ideas while staying true to the values that have shaped TAVAT. Our frames are crafted in small batches, ensuring that each piece is engineered to the highest standards of quality and precision. The details are what set TAVAT apart—subtle yet striking, designed to stand the test of time.
TAVAT eyewear is created for those who see the world through a different lens—those who appreciate not only the craft but the vision behind every curve and contour. With a focus on form, function, and originality, TAVAT design eyewear that’s as innovative as the people who wear it.
