Pyramid
From the Res Rei Sculptures collection. Handmade in Italy.
The Pyramid is constructed using three-dimensional workmanship on both the front and back of the frame. This sculptural manufacturing process reveals the layering within the acetate material itself—where changes in thickness create natural colour fading and pattern depth.
A squared cat-eye silhouette in acetate. The dimensional carving catches light differently depending on angle, highlighting the material's stratification. Made using Mazzucchelli acetate, custom-developed for Res Rei.

Perfect! I found the Orpheus details in the search results. Here's the description:
Orpheus
From the Res Rei Flowers collection. Handmade in Italy.
The Orpheus explores an inside-out construction—one frame layered within another. Two or three acetates in contrasting colours are combined to create depth, with soft curves that reference spring blooms. The overlapping acetate layers work like petals, revealing colour transitions as the material intersects.
Made using Mazzucchelli acetate with nature-inspired colour combinations. The construction technique exposes the internal colour structure where the acetate thicknesses meet.

From the Res Rei Sculptures collection. Handmade in Italy.
The Nightfall is a bold, square silhouette that serves as a centerpiece of the Sculptures collection. The design is defined by an advanced manufacturing process that carves into the acetate on both the front and back faces, creating a distinct three-dimensional profile.
This sculptural technique is specifically used to highlight the stratification of the material, revealing the hidden layers of colour and pattern within the Italian acetate. Because of its geometric depth, the frame interacts dynamically with light, causing the appearance of the material to shift as the wearer moves.

From the Res Rei Architects collection. Handmade in Italy.
The Noble features surfaces that shift between polished and matte finishes—three-dimensional workmanship that creates depth and allows the frame to catch light at different angles. The temples evolve through precise variations in thickness, adding character to the profile.
The Architects collection takes its design language from architectural façades, with the interplay of glossy and opaque textures creating subtle sculptural form. Made using Mazzucchelli acetate in contemporary, sophisticated colours.

From the Res Rei Diamonds collection. Handmade in Italy.
The Rainbow is defined by its complex, multi-layered construction. Part of the Diamonds collection, this frame features a structural design where different layers of acetate are bonded together and then milled at varying angles. This process creates geometric facets that reveal the interior "spark" and colour stratification of the material.
The silhouette is an expressive, angular cat-eye that utilizes the transparency and refraction of the acetate to catch the light. Like all frames in this series, the Rainbow is designed to showcase the technical possibilities of Italian hand-craftsmanship through precise geometric volumes.

From the Res Rei Eclipses collection. Handmade in Italy.
The Nova features overlapping front shapes—two similar but slightly offset forms layered over one another. This construction is emphasised by acetates composed of different coloured layers, where the overlap creates colour interaction between the materials.
Named after the astronomical phenomenon where a celestial body passes between a light source and an observer. The collection uses fine thicknesses and contemporary shapes. Made using Mazzucchelli layered acetate.

From the Res Rei Flowers collection. Handmade in Italy.
The Daisy follows the "inside-out" construction theme central to the Flowers collection. This technique involves layering multiple acetates of varying colours to create a unique depth of field, where the material overlaps much like the petals of a blooming flower.
Designed with soft, organic curves, the frame emphasizes the transition between different hues as the thickness of the acetate changes. The result is a sophisticated and artistic silhouette that highlights the high-quality Mazzucchelli acetate through complex, nature-inspired colour stories.

Marylin Monroe said “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend”. This famous quotation was the starting point of a collection inspired by the sparkle of precious stones. And, just like precious stones, the eyewear in this collection makes every moment feel like the most important moment of the day.

The Essences collection is inspired by the magical world of perfume. Just as fragrances are created by skilfully blending different ingredients, the eyewear in the Essences collection is the result of a careful balance of transparencies and more vibrant colours.
