The names behind the frames
theo's frame selection is extensive! This is understandable since the brand was established in 1989. With a knack for unique colour combinations and different shapes, you could get lost trying on such cool, creative eyewear!
Here's a rundown of our top five collections to help you navigate the brand - you'll be a theo aficionado soon!
Pinballs
Life is like a game of pinball. Bumpers, spinners and kickers shoot you from one challenge into the next, as lights and sounds scream for your attention. The adventure is exciting, yet the game can get intense.
The intriguing features of the pinball machine inspired this theo family. A flashy acetate ‘playing field’ for the top half, a ‘wire ramp’-shaped bottom half, ‘ball holders’ in the temple tips. Let this design be a gentle reminder: when life gets intense, find the wire ramp and take a moment to breathe!
Models:
- Bumper
- Kicker
- Spinner
- Slinger

Characters
This theo collection is an ode to Christophe Plantin, master of the early printing press. Even centuries after the first book was printed in Antwerp, the love for serif typefaces rubbed off on our theo designers working only a stone’s throw away from the old print workshop. Do these model names look familiar?

Astronauts
Aluminium got us to the moon, now it will launch your look to higher places. If it is light enough to lift Apollo 11 off the earth, it is the right material to boost the volume of our metal designs. The light weight of aluminium is the secret behind the bulkiness of these frames!
Inspired by the first men to land on the moon, Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins, theo keeps pushing the boundaries of eyewear fashion. A small step for you, a giant leap for your style!
