About

HAPTER was founded IN THE ITALIAN SECLUDED MOUNTAIN TOWN OF BELLUNO, THE AREA WHICH IS THE CRADLE, SINCE MORE THAN A CENTURY, OF THE WORLD’S MOST PROMINENT EYEWEAR DISTRICT.

HOWEVER, LIKE A POST-INDUSTRIAL GENE MUTATION, IT TOTALLY DISSOCIATED FROM THIS MOTIONLESS UNDER-LAYER. IT DISSECTED AND DECONSTRUCTED THE ANCIENT MASTERY OF BUILDING GLASSES CONDUCTED UNCHANGED THROUGH TIME, AND DEVELOPED ITS OWN TECHNIQUE:

RADICAL, EXPERIMENTAL, PROGRESSIVE AND HIGLY TECHNICAL, COMBINING MATERIALS OF DIFFERENT NATURE LIKE SURGICAL STAINLESS STEEL, ARTISANAL COTTON FABRICS, INDUSTRIAL RUBBER, AND MORE TO COME.

HAPTERÌA | THE WORKSHOP

Hapterìa IS HAPTER’s design studio and ATELIER, WHERE IDEAS BECOME REALITY, LOCATED IN BELLUNO AT THE FOOT-HILLS OF THE ITALIAN DOLOMITES MOUNTAINS.

OUR LABORATORY IS A PLACE WHERE HANDIWORK AND TECHNOLOGY OVERLAP AND ARE COMBINED WITH ALCHEMIES AND METICULOUSLY PLANNED PROCESSES. THE END PRODUCT BEING A COMPOUND OF BOTH SENSORIAL CRAFTSHIP AND INDUSTRIAL APPEAL.

IT’S AN INSPIRING AREA, AND THE PERFECT PLACE TO BECOME THE DRIVING FORCE OF A NEW COMMUNITY OF CREATIVE PROFESSIONALS, DESIGNERS AND ARTISANS. FROM THIS TINY, BUT GRAND SPOT, HAPTER CREATES BEAUTY FOR PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD.

“In the HAPTER we find all the Genius Loci, the talent of the place where it was born”
