PM Designs is a small Paris atelier making prescription eyewear for a limited clientele. We treat a frame the way you'd treat a good watch — worn daily, for years, and worth getting right.
It starts with a consultation. We take your prescription on precision instruments, then build the frame by hand from acetate, titanium, or buffalo horn. Most of the work — around forty hours per pair — is done by hand, not machine.
Adjustments and repairs are free for life. We keep the studio small on purpose: a handful of opticians and craftspeople making a few hundred pairs a year, since 2012.
Ninety minutes at the atelier, your home, or a hotel. We talk about your vision, your lifestyle, and the look you want.
Precise refraction plus a full set of facial measurements. Your profile is kept on file for life.
Choose a frame from our library, or have one cut from raw material. Hand-polished, then fitted with your lenses.
A second fitting to get the temples and bridge exactly right. You leave with your glasses and a lifetime of free servicing.
A private, ninety-minute consultation is the first step — at our Paris atelier, your home, or a hotel. We discuss your prescription, your lifestyle, and sketch a frame suited to you. No obligation to commission.
