USEFUL ATELIER

USEFUL ATELIER is a Seoul-based eyewear brand founded in 1978, known for combining travel-inspired storytelling with refined craftsmanship. Each frame captures the spirit of global experiences, from peaceful landscapes to lively cities.

Guided by the emotions of travel, their designs reflect moments like drifting kites, cozy cafés, and city energy. Every piece is crafted to be both functional and expressive.

Handmade in their Seoul studio, the frames use premium materials like Italian Mazzucchelli acetate for durability and elegance. Signature models like “Turnback” reinterpret vintage styles with a modern edge.

The brand also explores collaborations—such as with Paris café Rectoverso—and offers options like photochromic lenses and ZEISS upgrades.

With over 40 years of heritage, USEFUL ATELIER continues to craft eyewear that connects design with personal journeys and memories.
