Stig – The Round Frame That Carries More Than It Shows
A round frame is one of the most enduring shapes in eyewear. The right round frame is something more — a shape that carries intellectual warmth, vintage character, and a quiet confidence that reads across every context. Stig by WEISS OPTIX is that frame. A timeless round silhouette in hand-polished mixed premium acetate, with a subtle geometric quality at the upper rim that gives the classic shape a contemporary edge.
Four colorways in rich, layered tones. A silhouette calibrated for square and heart-shaped faces. Vintage flair, worn with everyday ease.
Timeless Round: The Silhouette With Geometric Depth
Stig’s silhouette is round at its core — the circular lens shape carries the warmth and approachability that the round frame has always offered. But the upper rim carries a subtle geometric quality: slightly angled at the outer corners, with a flat upper line that gives the frame a quiet architectural presence that a pure circle cannot achieve. The result is a shape that reads as classic and considered, with a detail that rewards the closer look.
For square faces, the rounded curves create a direct visual counterpoint to the defined angles of the jaw and forehead, softening the overall impression without erasing the strength of the features. For heart-shaped faces, the round proportions balance the wider upper face against a narrower chin. For oval faces, the silhouette sits in natural balance. For longer faces, the circular emphasis adds width and reduces perceived length.
The genderless design means Stig adapts to the wearer rather than prescribing a look. It is the frame that carries intellectual charm without requiring it to be performed.
Hand-Polished Mixed Premium Acetate: Rich Tones, Layered Depth
Stig is constructed from hand-polished mixed premium acetate — a material that carries color with a richness and layering that injected plastic cannot replicate. The mixed acetate construction produces the complex, multi-tonal patterns that define Stig’s palette: colors that shift in depth and warmth as the light angle changes, and reward the closer look with a surface that reads differently at different distances.
A slender metal accent at the hinge adds a precise, contemporary detail — the point where the acetate frame meets a refined metallic finish, and both agree. The construction is light enough for all-day wear without pressure or fatigue.
Four Colorways: Rich Tones With Character
Stig’s palette is built around rich, layered tones — four colorways, each one a different expression of the timeless round character.
- Light Tortoiseshell — a classic tortoiseshell pattern in deep brown and warm amber, with a dark upper rim that transitions to richer tones below. The colorway with the most historical resonance — the one that places Stig in a specific lineage of considered eyewear and makes it immediately recognizable.
- Blue Gradient — a complex, multi-tonal pattern that weaves deep blue, warm brown, and amber into a surface that shifts with the light. The most distinctive of the four — the colorway that reads as quietly expressive and carries the highest visual interest up close.
- Deep Red — a saturated, full-bodied red that amplifies the vintage character of the round silhouette. The boldest choice of the four — the colorway for those who want their eyewear to be a deliberate statement without being a costume.
- Bark Grayish Black — a cool, marbled gray-black pattern with a matte quality that reads as understated and authoritative. The daily-wear choice for those who want the frame’s character to speak quietly and consistently across every context.
Where Stig Belongs
Stig carries the Daily Essentials designation because the hand-polished mixed acetate construction makes it genuinely practical for all-day wear — light enough to forget, refined enough to notice. It moves between professional and creative contexts without adjustment, adapting to the wearer’s day rather than defining it.
For those who want a round frame that carries intellectual warmth without the full weight of a classic intellectual aesthetic, Stig is the answer. For those who want their eyewear to feel as considered as the rest of their wardrobe without requiring effort, Stig is the frame.
