About VIU Eyewear
VIU Eyewear is a premium eyewear brand founded in Zurich.
We combine independent design with transparent production and a direct-to-consumer approach. Our frames are designed in Switzerland and handcrafted in selected partner manufactories in Italy and Japan, using high-quality materials and precise craftsmanship.
By selling directly through our own stores and online channels, we eliminate unnecessary intermediaries. This allows us to offer exceptional design, quality, and craftsmanship at a fair price.
Our Design Philosophy
At VIU, design is at the core of everything we do.
Our approach combines Swiss design principles — clarity, functionality, and precision — with contemporary aesthetics. We focus on creating frames that are distinctive yet timeless, balancing bold design with everyday wearability.
