Light Co is an eyewear company based in Fukui, Tokyo, Japan, a region with a rich heritage in eyewear production. Embodying a deep respect for tradition and an innovative spirit, all Light Co frames are hand-drawn, hand-crafted, and meticulously manufactured by a small team of expert craftsmen and master technicians.
Light Co is celebrated for its rich, exquisite colorations, which are the result of months of experimentation and a meticulous creative process. They exclusively use custom Takiron cotton-based acetates, high-grade titanium plated with custom gold and silver formulas, and Shima Optics lenses. Their commitment to connecting people and the planet is reflected in their use of eco-friendly materials and designs that are both timeless and durable.
