their Tyrolean manufactory. This autonomy allows them to stay authentic, sustainable, and uncompromising in quality. MATERIALS THAT TELL A STORY At the heart of ROLF’s identity is its bold material experimentation. Each frame reflects a philosophy where nature and technology coexist beautifully. Wood - ROLF’s earliest and most iconic material, wood, anchors the brand’s design language. Artisans hand- shape, grind, and finish each wooden frame, allowing the natural grain to shine. No two pairs are alike, each carries the markings of the tree it came from. Stone - Stone layers are fused to create lightweight, distinctive textures. ROLF’s stone frames are a tactile celebration of nature’s raw beauty, yet engineered for surprising comfort and practicality. Castor Bean Biopolymer - ROLF’s plant-based “bean material” represents its most futuristic leap. Derived from castor beans, this biopolymer is renewable, ultra-light, strong, and ideal for precise 3D printing. With this, ROLF created a fully screwless, metal-free eyewear system, offering durability and freedom from conventional mechanical weak points. Fusion (Wood + Bean) - One of the brand’s most successful innovations combines the warmth of wood with the advanced performance of castor bean material. Fusion frames are not only beautiful but a perfect demonstration of ROLF’s signature blend of craftsmanship and technology. screws and metal hinges, they looked toward materials that felt organic: wood, stone, and later, castor- bean biopolymer. Their very first prototypes, handmade wooden frames, debuted at Opti Munich in 2009. Even as early samples, they sparked industry-wide conversations. Today, despite its global presence, ROLF remains fully independent and family-run. Every part of the process, design, prototyping, production, finishing, and even administration, still happens under one roof in ROLF EYEWEAR STANDS APART AS A QUIET REVOLUTION, AN EYEWEAR BRAND THAT BELIEVES LUXURY SHOULD FEEL NATURAL, LAST LONG, AND LEAVE THE LIGHTEST POSSIBLE FOOTPRINT 27 VISION PLUS INDIA EDITION
