Elios – Handcrafted Buffalo Horn Frame
Elios combines a hand-shaped buffalo-horn front with feather-light beta-titanium temples. Sized 140-22-147 with a 47 mm lens height, it offers a unique marbled finish, spring hinges and custom lens options.
Description
Elios – Handcrafted Buffalo Horn Frame pairs a classic squared-panto front in natural horn with ultralight, beta-titanium temples for a look that is equal parts heritage and high-tech. Master artisans carve, laminate and polish the horn, then hand-assemble each frame with slim, flexible titanium arms that virtually disappear on the face. Because every horn plate has its own striations—ranging from smoky charcoal through ivory cream—no two Elios frames will ever share the same pattern.

Why Natural Horn & Titanium Outperform Acetate
Horn is a living keratin that warms to your skin, resists perspiration and—even after decades—develops a rich patina instead of cracking. Titanium, meanwhile, delivers aerospace-grade strength at a fraction of the weight of steel. Together they create eyewear that feels feather-light and remains beautifully stable over time. For the science behind horn’s durability and biocompatibility, see this recent peer-reviewed study: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S235249282401376X.
Finishing & Lens Options
Our atelier can polish Elios in a spectrum of horn shades—from soft alabaster to deep espresso—and fit clear prescription optics, gradient sun lenses or photochromic lenses. Precision-cut rim grooves accept lenses up to 2.2 mm thick. Stainless-steel spring hinges unite horn and titanium without sacrificing flexibility, while adjustable titanium nose pads provide a tailored fit.
Styling Notes
Elios’s clean brow line and gentle panto curve flatter both oval and square faces, adding understated refinement to business tailoring or smart-casual knits. The titanium temples keep the profile slim, ensuring the frame slips easily under headphones or a motorcycle helmet.
