What are the responsibilities and job description for the Optician position at AHLEM?
AHLEM was founded in 2014 by Paris-born designer
Ahlem Manai-Platt. Rigorous attention to detail,
insistence on exceptional materials, commitment to
sustainable methods, and an abiding obsession with
arts and culture combine to inform AHLEM’s vision. The
revolutionary design principles of Bauhaus are at the
core of the brand’s approach and serve as an aesthetic

AHLEM eyewear tells a story of artisanal expertise:

specialized ateliers and into the hands of nine skilled
artisans, each with a particular craft passed down
through generations. Maintaining a fierce loyalty to
