Every morning, hundreds of Kyiv cafés brew coffee.
Introducing
Eight years. Hundreds of experiments. One material.
Many eyewear frames rely on conventional plastics. We wanted to develop a different material from the ground up.
We built a material from scratch.
Coffee grounds + plant-based oils. Pressed, dried, shaped by hand.
The result: a patented bio-composite with up to 80% bio-carbon content — confirmed by ASTM D6866.
Patented material. No BPA. Developed in Kyiv.
Introducing
What the material does
Water-resistant.
Wearable in the rain, in the snow, in the mountains, and on the beach.
Adjustable with gentle heat.
Warm carefully with a hairdryer and shape to fit your face.
Introducing
What the material can’t promise
The lenses are not biodegradable.
Most of our sun lenses are made from cellulose triacetate (TAC), and we continue to look for better lens solutions.
The coffee scent naturally fades.
After a few weeks, refresh it with a drop of natural oil — or keep the frames in their case to hold the aroma longer.
The material comes in four characters

Frequently asked questions
Does it actually smell like coffee?
Yes — a real coffee scent, not artificial. Most people notice it the moment they open the box.
It’s strongest in the first few weeks, then fades naturally.
To refresh it, rub the frame gently with a drop of natural aroma oil.
Is it durable? Will it break?
The frames are built for daily life. A metal core runs through each temple. The material handles water, heat, and daily wear without issue. But still be gentle with them, as you’d care for something valuable.
Is the 80% bio-based claim real?
Yes, and we can prove it. The bio-carbon content is measured by ASTM D6866 — the international standard for bio-based materials.
What makes each pair unique?
Every batch of material is mixed separately using real coffee grounds. The grain, texture and colour variation are natural outcomes of the process — no two frames are identical.
Can I get them wet?
Yes. Each frame has a hydrophobic coating. They’ve survived mountain hikes in snow and accidental ocean swims. Just don’t leave them in water for extended periods.
Is the material safe for skin?
Fully. No BPA, no phthalates, no petroleum plastics. CE certified. Safe for daily skin contact.
Why does the material sometimes look different in different light?
Because the coffee grain and natural plant additions create a surface that shifts slightly depending on angle and lighting. That’s not a defect — it’s what makes the material look alive rather than manufactured.
