A concept of contemporary and avant-garde glasses that interprets the strength and beauty of the Belluno mountains. Mirko Forti and Eric Balzan, both 36 years old from Belluno are childhood friends, design and mountain enthusiasts, and are the founders of HAPTER.
HAPTER is a real contemporary art laboratory in which manual work and technology are integrated together.
HAPTER is an exploration that is not afraid to go into unknown territories, an eyewear brand that comes from the lines of a specific model of glasses: the military glacier model of the First World War.
With the same passion that guides climbers when they explore new territories, the HAPTER team has been looking for innovative materials and production techniques since 2013. The goal is to achieve, in a contemporary collection, the perfect balance between function, aesthetics and materials of the military glasses that inspire the brand.
Hapter eyewear collections combine technology and craftsmanship thanks to the use of steel and high-end fabrics in exclusive models, 100% Made in Italy. New models that deconstruct the traditional eyewear design to redesign it in a soft and malleable structure.
There are four models offered by the brand:
Icons Line
High Line
Prime Line
Wiry Line
“Actually wearing a HAPTER is different from any other glasses. It is very light, soft to the touch and when worn it wraps the face with the right comfortable pressure. We like to think about the concept of a glove for the face ”.
Detaching himself from the patterns, conventions and certainty of paths already taken down in advance, HAPTER belongs to all those who accept the challenge and solitude of the paths between the high peaks and the insidious ice of the mountains.
If you too can’t wait to put yourself to the test by leaving your comfort zone, find the HAPTER glasses for you and follow the official instagram profile @haptereyewear.
