INSPIRED BY NATURE

Zen - Rave was created by Jonathan after travelling the world and experiencing the wide variety of people and cultures.

Jonathan was tired of seeing different cultures and people polluting the environment in which they live ,so Zen - Rave was created to start the change. Here at Zen - Rave we not only design high quality and durable products but also products which are made from a natural bamboo wood - all of this for the cause of protecting the environment in which we live in. Everything we do here is meant to serve nature back. We want to thank nature for everything it provides us and at the same time enjoy high quality products that satisfy us for a very long period of time. In addition, Jonathan was Frustrated with the lack of progress in sunglasses and watches design and having always loved working with wood, he discovered it could be crafted into the perfect material for making sunglasses and watches. Not only was it incredibly light and durable but it was hypoallergenic, natural and highly sustainable. Whilst plastic was a by product of the oil industry, wood was grown from nature.

 

"We love the natural warmth and absolute uniqueness wood has to offer. Whilst a factory can spit out 10,000 pairs of plastic sunglasses totally cloned in absolute uniformity, each pair of wood sunglasses is totally unique and a one off piece of craftsmanship that will never ever be repeated. I believe in today's crowded world, people want products that display a sense of individuality and a closer connection with nature and wood allows that opportunity like no other material."

Seeing a gap in the market Zen - Rave went on to create a line of wooden sunglasses that were light and stylish whilst still maintaining the sun protection of UV400 filtering and polarized lenses demanded by customers today. By using laminated wood, they could make designs which were thinner and stronger whilst avoiding the thickset, clunky designs of other brands.
