The use of new materials and techniques creates added values and aesthetics in eyewear design. This is basically the idea and motivation of the Cabrio collection. Driven by curiosity, Bieke Hoet continuously explores new materials, techniques and manufacturers. A virtual library has grown during the years. Through trial and error, by pushing a material to its edge of performance, by applying techniques unknown in the eyewear business, new concepts with new added values are created.
The creative culture of Cabrio Eyewear has guaranteed wearable frames with a fun twist for years.Â
Every season the collection is expanded with several frames that continue to amaze with their wearability, lightweight and ecologically responsible story.
By embracing 3D printing since 2014, the HOET design agency has been one of the founders of this innovation and this is reflected in a mastery of this technique.
Since 2024, the Cabrio Eyewear collection also includes the Satin series, a series of frames 3D printed from resin that have a translucent satin appearance. Using this new technology opens up a whole new world of innovations and creations!
