NativeX8™ is the contemporary process by which ZP8 glasses are made.
It is born from the combination of Italian design, digital manufacturing, and a bio-based polyamide derived from castor oil.
A lightweight and resistant material, transformed through an advanced production process and hand-finished in Italy.
We didn't choose NativeX8™ to follow a trend. We chose it to create something that didn't exist before.
From nature, a new material
NativeX8™ uses a biobased polyamide whose raw material is derived from castor oil.
The biological origin of the material reduces dependence on fossil raw materials, without compromising the performance required to create a contemporary frame.
The result is a material that is pleasant to the touch, light to wear, and capable of maintaining its identity over time.
Biobased does not mean biodegradable or without impact. It means consciously choosing a different origin and using technology to transform it into a product designed to last.
Lightness you can feel
Glasses accompany the face for many hours. That's why lightness is not just a technical feature: it's part of the experience.
NativeX8™ frames are designed to distribute weight evenly and offer a feeling of natural comfort.
Their textured surface retains an authentic and recognizable character, far from the impersonal perfection of standardized production.
Technology, finished by hand
Technology creates the form. Hands give it character.
After production, each frame undergoes several stages of processing, finishing, and inspection.
Surfaces are perfected, details verified, and each component carefully assembled in Italy.
It is the combination of digital precision and artisanal sensibility that makes NativeX8™ part of the ZP8 world.
No shape should resemble another
NativeX8™ offers us the freedom to design without starting from what already exists.
We can work on proportions, lighten structures, create textures, and build details that become part of the eyewear's identity.
We don't seek difference to be eccentric. We seek the freedom to create shapes that can speak for those who wear them.
Because what you wear shouldn't turn you into someone else.
It should help you recognize who you already are.
Designed and Made in Italy
Every NativeX8™ eyewear is born from over twenty years of experience in eyewear design and development.
From the first line to the finished product, every choice is followed in Italy: design, development, production, finishing, assembly, and control.
A contemporary process, guided by a deeply human understanding of the product.
