Frame of the Month: HOFFMAN HORN

We are so excited to introduce a new frame line to SIGHT. Hoffman Horn is an all natural frame line created with horn and of the highest handmade quality. Below is a brief background on the line and a deeper look into how this beautiful product is designed and made:

Since 1978 the HOFFMANN frame makers from Kelberg in the volcanic Eifel have been handcrafting natural horn frames. Long years of experience of working with this unusual material, a flair for perfection and unmistakable design make the work of these specialists into a triumph of the art of handcrafting.

The design of HOFFMANN is created using traditional handcrafting techniques, they reflect modern design both in shape and colour. Whether delicate or striking, these natural horn frames are unrivalled pieces.

HOFFMANN natural horn frames are created from the horn of the Indian water buffalo. The Washington Convention on Endangered Species does not apply to these agricultural animals. Although the horns of a water buffalo can be up to two metres in length, only a small part of the horn is suitable for a spectacle frame. From this small part we select only those pieces which fulfil our criteria regarding the quality of the material and a harmonious and unusual colouring. The making of a horn frame does not pollute the environment. The only waste products are horn shavings, which serve as a natural fertiliser.

Each model from HOFFMANN NATURAL EYEWEAR is made as an individual, one-off piece, allowing special customer wishes to be taken into account. In this way frames are created whose equal will be sought in vain in the marketplace and which let their owners feel they are wearing something very special. With justification, as each HOFFMANN frame is one of a kind, distinguished by individual effects of structure and unique colour combinations.
