Born in South Korea and growing up in Belgium, Matthieu Duchere had a love for art and design from his childhood days. Later on, he studied industrial design at the prestigious La Cambre, School of Architecture and Visual Arts in Brussels, where he defended a thesis on the subject of eyewear. From that moment, Matthieu became passionate about this very special product; about the materials, shapes and manufacturing processes. After the graduation, he worked as a designer for top-notch eyewear brands, including the world-renowned Theo. He also worked at an eyewear manufacturing plant in the mountains of the Jura in France, where MATTTEW glasses are now manufactured before being sold worldwide.
