Retrosuperfuture Eyewear Collection

Retrosuperfuture—known as SUPER—launched in Italy in 2007 with a focus on eyewear that challenges conventional design while maintaining Italian craftsmanship standards. The brand represents a newer generation of eyewear design, one that embraces bold experimentation, vibrant acetate colors, and silhouettes ranging from retro-inspired to contemporary geometric shapes.

Retrosuperfuture produces handcrafted acetate frames in Italy. The brand uses cellulose acetate, a material derived from plant cellulose that is valued for its durability, hypoallergenic properties, and ability to hold saturated colors. Each frame undergoes hand-polishing and multi-step quality control. The Flat Top model features a distinctive angular upper rim with thick acetate construction. The Mega offers an oversized square shape with bold proportions. The Numero series provides optical frames designed specifically for prescription lenses, with frame dimensions calibrated for various lens types.

Retrosuperfuture Sunglasses

Retrosuperfuture sunglasses feature a range of shapes—angular flat-tops, oversized squares, rounded profiles, and aviator-inspired designs. Many styles use thick acetate construction for structural strength and visual presence. The color palette extends beyond standard black and tortoise to include translucent hues, gradient finishes, and color blocking.

Retrosuperfuture sunglasses include lenses with UV protection. Select models offer polarized lenses for glare reduction. The acetate frames are designed with temple arms and bridge widths engineered to distribute weight for extended wear. Hardware includes barrel hinges and metal accents built for daily use.

The Flat Top model is characterized by its angular upper rim and thick acetate frame. The Mega features an oversized square silhouette with bold proportions. Other models vary in shape from rounded to geometric, with different acetate color treatments and lens options.

Retrosuperfuture Eyeglasses

The Retrosuperfuture optical collection applies the same design approach to prescription eyewear. The Numero series represents the brand's core optical offering, with frames engineered for prescription lenses. These styles maintain bold acetate construction while incorporating proportions suitable for everyday wear. The optical frames range from rectangular and round profiles to contemporary geometric designs, all manufactured with the same Italian production methods as the sunglasses line.

Retrosuperfuture optical frames accommodate single-vision, progressive, and high-index prescription lenses. The acetate construction provides stability for lens mounting, and frame dimensions work with modern lens technologies. Many optical styles feature keyhole bridges, and select models include adjustable nose pads. Temple designs ensure secure fit throughout the day.

The Numero series includes various numbered models (Numero 88, Numero 127, Numero 129, Numero 130, Numero 132, Numero 133) that differ in shape, size, and acetate color. Other optical models include The Warhol Optical, Ciccio Optical, Lazarus Optical, and Aalto, each with distinct frame shapes and proportions.

Retrosuperfuture eyewear is built for wearers who want distinctive style in both sunglasses and prescription frames. The brand's Italian manufacturing ensures production quality, while the design philosophy provides frames with a unique visual identity. Whether selecting sunglasses or optical frames, Retrosuperfuture offers eyewear that functions as both vision correction and personal expression.
