Vorab: 3D printing and Zeiss® lenses
We are delighted to present our new model, Vorab, available now in limited quantities on our website!
Édition limitée
For the launch of this model, we are offering 50 pairs available in 3 colours, 3 sizes and two types of Zeiss lenses in categories 3 and 4.
3D printing
Thanks to 3D printing, we can produce small batches in an agile and responsive manner. In the medium term, our goal is to push this technology further so that we can manufacture on demand, with very short lead times. This production method allows us to better manage inventory, avoid surpluses and break free from the traditional industrial model based on overproduction, which generates a huge amount of unsold stock.

Sunglasses: Vorab olive (M)
Lenses: Zeiss Vision / Alps Mirror
Price: CHF 239.-
Maximum comfort
Vorab sunglasses come with interchangeable nose pads to ensure a perfect fit for all faces, even the most delicate.
With each pair, you will receive a cord made from strings recovered from old paragliders. Made from Dyneema®, they are strong, lightweight and often colourful - colours vary depending on availability.
The Vorab are made from PA12, a technical, lightweight material that is particularly well suited to the latest 3D printing technologies. They are manufactured chez Jean in Oyonnax. A frame designed for moving, climbing, running, cycling... in short, for outdoor activities!
‘Vorab’ means “ahead” in German. It is also the name of a glacier located above Laax in Graubünden. A nod to our Alpine origins, but also to our desire to stay one step ahead by offering 3D-printed sunglasses designed for lightness, protection and performance.
Have a great start to spring!
