Designed in Canada, African inspired, Bôhten is committed to producing quality eyeglasses made from reclaimed material sourced in Ghana. It is on the mountainous region of Kwahu, highest habitable place in Ghana that BÔhten began its journey. Nana Osei, Founder of BÔhten amongst various ideas, had the initiative to use reclaimed waste material to manufacture an eco-luxury eyewear line. He draws inspiration from his Ghanaian roots, from his love of nature but mostly from his late grandfather Andrew Hanson Osei, who was Ghana’s first land surveyor in the 60’s. Bôhten’s mission is to develop a compost management initiative that collects agricultural waste (barley, wheat, straw, lumber, wood) etc. We also look to create a chain of workshops that are responsible for the crafting and manufacturing of designer glasses in Africa and in various countries. This is the first step to a journey that will be nothing short of historic.
