A single interaction can bring a common goal and project to life. This edition of My Life in Lafont features the Conradt family who, along with Lafont, collaborated to create an exclusive boutique in Liège. Below is an interview with Sophie Conradt.

What is your first Lafont-related memory?

My first Lafont-related memory is from 1993 when my father and I discovered the collection at the International Optics and Eyewear show in Paris. When we saw the collection, we were convinced that Maison Lafont had a complete offering for our clientele in Liege which ranges in age from 7 to 77 years old. For over 25 years the partnership has proven successful!

In your opinion, why does Lafont stand out?

Lafont designs stand out thanks to their traditional expertise, and because they are hand made in Jura, ensuring French quality and standards.

How has Lafont benefitted your client base?

Lafont has its own signature – from shapes to colors, everything is carefully crafted and every detail matters.

Which is your all-time favourite frame?

I could not name one particular model. Each collection brings its own feeling, and any quality, well-made frame can become a new favourite.

History :
Since 1973, the excellence of the Lafont brand has been built on the know-how and craftsmanship of a factory in the Jura region owned by the Thierry family. 80% of the colors in the Lafont acetate and metal collection are absolutely exclusive, thanks to the creation of original patterns and colours of the in house design studio.
