The Theo Mille+41 is the definition of refined audacity—a masterfully crafted frame that whispers of European elegance while boldly speaking its own language. Born from Theo’s obsessive dedication to individuality, this silhouette is perfectly poised between classic poise and avant-garde flair.

 

Imagine acetate that feels sumptuous to the touch, molded into a sculptural form that fits the face like couture. The Mille+41's design plays with symmetry and edges, giving it subtle architectural intrigue—each angle and curve suggesting movement and intention. It's not just eyewear; it's a statement of discernment, an accessory with intellect and personality woven into its DNA.

 

Hand-finished by artisans in France, its build exudes luxurious solidity without bulk. Thoughtful accents—like a tasteful interplay of polished and matte finishes, artful cutouts, or layered textures—add richness to its visual story. The hinge mechanism glides with reassuring precision, underscoring the frame's meticulous engineering.

 

Wearing the Theo Mille+41 isn't merely about vision—it's about presence. It elevates the everyday, turning a glance into a conversation starter. Refined, bold, and unapologetically distinctive, this is eyewear for the individual who knows nuance matters—and wants the world to see it.

It started with a desire we just couldn't deny any longer. It was 1987 and we were hungry. Hungry for ‘a different pair of glasses’. And we were fired up to get to work. Together with Patrick Hoet (designer and anagram-namesake of theo) we decided to create original eyewear for own shops in Antwerp and Bruges.

 

The first theo models we launched made a bit of a splash and enthusiasm is contagious! Colleagues were soon asking us whether they, too, could sell theo in their shops. Little by little and country by country, theo gradually won over more and more hearts. This had an impact on us, of course. It encouraged us to continue on our chosen path.

 

We were increasingly determined to design glasses that always incorporate a touch of humour, individuality and a certain ‘edge’. And we’ve stayed true to this vision. After all, our goal has never changed: together with the theo optician, to make glasses-wearers happy and to offer them an unforgettable experience.

 

Now, a good 25 years later, we’re tremendously proud to be able to collaborate worldwide with a select group of individual opticians who have embraced theo and who, in turn, bring our love for design, originality and quality to their customers.

 

But our story doesn't end here. In the meantime, theo has grown into a platform where designers of all kinds (glasses, fashion, furniture, etc.) can work in synergy with a small army of enthusiastic employees at our warehouse in Antwerp. The drive to keep on inspiring and surprising is simply in our DNA. That, and our love for our fans.

 

theo loves you.
