Aarviken was founded in 2024 by Dávid Gurbaľ, a Biomedical Engineering student at the Technical University of Košice, with the goal of bringing custom-made glasses to the Slovak and Czech markets.

Its main motto is:

"To ensure that wearing glasses is never uncomfortable again."

Everyone is Unique

Every individual is truly one-of-a-kind. Each person possesses distinct facial features and proportions that set them apart. Everyone also has their own unique preferences and tastes.

At Aarviken, we believe your eyewear should reflect your personality and character, crafted to highlight what makes you you.

Comfort is Our Top Priority

Our mission is to ensure that your frames not only look amazing but also provide unmatched comfort—because eyewear should feel as good as it looks.

Frames without compromise

Custom-made

You will never have to run from one optical store to another in search of your perfect frame again. Simply look up Aarviken, and we will create a custom-made one just for you.

Now, let's take a look at the process and see how it works. It's simple.

1.STEP

In the first step, simply scan yourself using iOS devices. This will take approximately 20 seconds. Your 3D scan will allow us to create the perfect frame tailored to your exact measurements.

2.STEP

Next, select the design that best suits your style and personality, along with your favorite color.

3.STEP

Now, leave everything else to us. Using 3D printing technology, which is not only cutting-edge but also eco-friendly, we'll craft your custom-made frame to perfection.

BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING STUDENT
FOUNDER AND CEO OF aarviken

Dávid Gurbaľ

Since I was 12, I've been wearing glasses, and I’ve always had trouble finding ones that are comfortable, don’t pinch, and stay in place. For most of my life, my glasses never fit well. They would slip off, and I had to constantly adjust them.

That’s why I decided to create Aarviken – a brand that makes custom eyewear frames using head scanning and 3D printing technology.

My DAD

My Biggest Inspiration

The name Aarviken is rooted in the word ARV, which means "HERITAGE." My father has always been a role model for me in business. For over 25 years, he has run his own tailor shop, crafting custom-made suits that fit perfectly and reflect the unique personality of each customer.

Inspired by his legacy, I am proud to continue this tradition – but with eyewear.

SCANDINAVIAN STYLE

QUALITY, ELEGANCE, NATURE

Aarviken was inspired by the essence of Nordic style, culture, and nature, which have long evoked in me a sense of quality, elegance, and connection to the natural world.

Accomplishments 

We have successfully reached the finals of the startup accelerators organized by the University Science Park TECHNICOM and the ICKK – Innovation Center of the Košice Region

Our Partners

Aarviken is proud to collaborate with the Technical University of Košice and Biomedical Engineering, a company specializing in the production of 3D-printed implants for living organisms.

Additionally, we have partnered with AGNES OPTIK, a family-owned optical business with over 30 years of tradition, located in the heart of Košice. The company is run by the experienced optician and optometrist Miroslav Kvapil.
