The aviator is one of the most recognisable sunglasses shapes there is — which is exactly why building it from something other than thin metal is worth doing properly. Our Aviator swaps the classic wire frame for laminated burl wood, and it changes more than just the look.
Why wood changes the shape
A metal aviator is light almost to the point of feeling flimsy. Ours has weight — real, substantial weight — that makes the frame feel considered rather than disposable. And because it's laminated timber, the grain running through each pair is genuinely unique. No two Aviators look quite the same.
