Custom-made eyewear: Ateliers Baudin, Paris

Ateliers Baudin was founded in 2016, drawing inspiration from the artisanal know-how of the Jura region. Describing itself as a custom eyewear workshop, the store is located at 38 Rue de Penthièvre in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, where the glasses are made and sold on-site….

Based in the heart of one of Paris’ most lively districts, this small team of eyewear experts offer a service for bespoke handmade eyewear, produced according to each individual’s prescription and distinctive needs, both practical and aesthetic.

United by a passion for custom-made design and craftsmanship, the team is currently led by Mathieu Jacquet, a trained optician, who learnt the art of spectacle-making through an internship alongside ‘Meilleurs Ouvriers’ (MOF) de France in Morez in the Jura. After struggling to find eyewear that he truly liked—both in terms of style and fit for different facial shapes—he decided to create his own frames. At Ateliers Baudin, he welcomes clients to the workshop, conducts eye exams, designs each model, and oversees the entire manufacturing process.

Ateliers Baudin – noble materials and a distinctive design style featuring bright yellow lenses

“Our philosophy is to put craftsmanship at the service of excellence—whether optical or aesthetic. Every frame we create must be both technically flawless and visually harmonious. We don’t compromise on comfort or beauty. What inspires us are precise gestures, noble materials, and the belief that a beautiful object can transform a gaze—both literally and figuratively….each face, each morphology, each preference pushes us to create differently. We never quite know how a frame will begin: sometimes it’s a detail in the gaze, a brow shape, or a word exchanged that sparks the idea. It’s this element of the unexpected and the custom-made that makes our work come alive…” Ateliers Baudin artisan team

The designs are produced in fine quality materials and typically cellulose acetate and horn; each sheet is carefully selected for its depth, hue, or transparency. In terms of style, the frames are based on a timeless foundation of curves and proportions, the team explained. “However, each design evolves from the dialogue with the client: depending on their desires and personality,” they added.

According to the makers, their handmade pieces stand out because they have hand-finished volumes, which capture the light. “And the subtle details make all the difference,” they emphasised.  “The craftsmanship is exquisitely precise, with each frame perfectly complementing the contours of the face, as if it were a delicate drawing that naturally integrates, offering an aesthetic extension of the eyewear itself.

Since 2016, Ateliers Baudin has done several product collaborations including special edition buffalo horn sunglasses for the British luxury company, Holland & Holland.

Matteo Cibic work at Punto Ottico Humaneyes

About Matteo Cibic / Matteo Cibic (b. 1983, Parma, Italy) is a groundbreaking trans media creator who uses his craft to explore the world and imagine utopian futures. Through his sculptural practice, he imbues everyday objects with a soul and personality, treating them as personas that bridge the gap between the animate and inanimate. For over a decade, he has conducted “a sociological research about colours and objects,” investigating how they shape our daily lives. One of his most iconic projects, VasoNaso, exemplifies his fusion of humour, creativity, and rigorous experimentation with ceramics. For Cibic, even the slightest shift in form can suggest an entirely new species, sparking a playful yet meaningful exploration of evolution and diversity.
