Rolf Tickford Optical

The Rolf Tickford is an optical frame handcrafted in the Tyrolean Alps, Austria from natural walnut wood. Each Rolf frame passes through at least 78 processes and features a patented screwless hinge, with no metal parts. Every pair is unique due to the natural grain of the material. Available at Visionary Optics' three NYC locations with same-day ZEISS prescription lenses, or online. Black slate, whose surface nature makes unique in every piece, is paired with centuries-prized walnut. Variations in color and texture are evidence of the natural forces that formed the stone over millions of years.
