The Limit of Two Hands

In his Marseille atelier, Yannick De Resbecq designs, forms, and polishes every frame himself. Even the cases are stitched by him alone. One craftsman and the natural limit of what his hands allow. In a world of faceless production, here is one you can name.

The Atelier

A tradition continued

When the old workshops of the Jura began closing their doors, the antique machines of French optical craft went silent. In a workshop by the Mediterranean, they're shaping frames again.

What emerges draws on brutalism, on Jean Prouvé, on the geometry of clockwork—straight lines, controlled curves, forms that feel resolved. Each piece is a search for proportion, shape, and colour.

Yannick trained as an optician—years spent understanding how frames meet the face, where weight falls, what makes eyewear disappear into wear. That knowledge lives in every piece he creates.

In a world racing forward, here is a workshop standing still. Exactly as intended.

The Collection

Signature Pieces

Elegant, meticulous, and remarkably precise. Shaped from fine Mazzucchelli acetate in the smallest of quantities — a scarcity born not of strategy, but of one craftsman's refusal to compromise.
