Shwood

Shwood shades were born from the limb of a Madrone tree, a rusty pair of cabinet hinges, and lenses from the corner store. A curious endeavor from the beginning, Shwood are a simple experiment with nature to create a product that encompasses the individuality and uniqueness that can only be found in natural surroundings. Born of the desire to experiment with design, materials, and aesthetics, free from passing trends, the collection includes wood and stone framed glasses and shades.

Shwood’s in-house manufacturing process merges precision technology with classic skilled craftsmanship to create timeless design. Every stage of production from precision lens cutting, to shaping and finishing the natural materials is conducted in house in their Portland-based workshop. Manipulation of natural materials are kept to a minimum in order to showcase the splendor and unique nature of both wood and stone. As with all of their frames, each pair of shades uses polarized lenses from Carl Zeiss.

“The most important factors for us when it comes to aesthetics are texture and color variance”.
