Theo

Theo was founded in Antwerp, Belgium, in 1989 by Wim Somers and Patrick Hoet, and has built its name on playful, unconventional frames. Designs are developed in Antwerp and made in France, often in limited runs, and the brand has long been regarded as one of the most original voices in independent eyewear.

The collection moves freely between metal, titanium and acetate, with asymmetry, bright colour and unexpected shapes appearing alongside more wearable styles. Many frames play with construction itself, using double bridges, cut-out rims and layered colour. The pictured Eat Flow combines a red metal brow with a slim black lower rim and a double bridge.

Theo suits people who see glasses as a deliberate statement and enjoy frames that start conversations. Bold shapes still need careful fitting, so the bridge, lens height and temple length all matter when choosing a frame like this, particularly for varifocal or higher prescriptions. If you love expressive eyewear, our dispensing team can suggest similar characterful frames from the brands we stock.
