Founded in 2002 by Hugo Martin in France, Parasite Design is an independent eyewear brand that merges avant-garde aesthetics with high-tech innovation. Rooted in a sci-fi and cyberpunk sensibility, the brand revolutionized the optical world with its patented STEREO active holding system, which replaces traditional temples with a multi-arm structure that grips the head ergonomically. Manufactured in the Jura mountains—the historic heart of French eyewear craftsmanship—Parasite balances traditional artisanal techniques with cutting-edge processes like 3D printing and vacuum metal treatment.
