Micromega and the growth of an artisanal brand thanks to the Upskill Venezia acceleration project, promoted by the Fondazione di Venezia and Upskill 4.0 of Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, together with young talents
A simple hand-worked titanium wire shapes a structure of unique lightness and gives form to an impalpable frame with imaginatively shaped lenses: Micromega eyewear.
The brand located in Calle delle Ostreghe (2436) in Venice is one of the Venetian artisanal companies participating in the second edition of Upskill Venezia: the acceleration project promoted by Fondazione di Venezia and Upskill 4.0 of Ca’ Foscari University of Venice together with students from Higher Technical Institutes (ITS) across Italy.
Students from the ITS Fitstic of Bologna spent several hours with the brand’s founder Roberto Carlon, his wife Luana and children Anna, Giulio, and Ugo to discover how research and simplicity characterize the success of Micromega, where every pair of glasses is a unique piece customized to the wearer’s character.
The goal of Upskill Venezia is to help the company gain visibility throughout the country and abroad through the creation of online and in-person experiential formats, aimed at communicating the craftsmanship and high quality of the products.
