To learn more about State Optical Co.’s latest collection and the philosophy behind it, we spoke to Melanie Burns, Vice President of Product Development at Europa Eyewear.

Jillian Urcelay: In its latest collection, State Optical introduces the philosophy “Chicago Design. Global Craft.” What does that mean in practical terms for the product development team—not just as a brand statement?

Melanie Burns: Chicago is the source of the design philosophy, while the world is our source for craftsmanship. We design around structure, proportion, material and intention in Chicago, and then partner with craftspeople whose expertise can execute that design at the highest level.
