How to use Febo
PUT YOUR GOGGLES ON AND START ENGRAVING
When the sun is shining, wear the provided protective goggles. Get your Febo out and keep it perpendicular to the sun to allow the lens correctly concentrate the sun’s rays in a beam. When you see the beam begins to leave physical marks on your surface of choice, begin following your pattern or drawing with Febo to engrave.
Sketch your design with a pencil, graphite allows for faster engraving
Always wear your goggles to protect your eyes from the sun’s rays
Keep Febo perpendicular to the sun
After the use, insert the protective disk under the Febo lens.
Place Febo at 90°
PLACE FEBO PERPENDICULAR TO THE SUN

Remember to keep Febo at 90°s to the sun, by tilting the surface you want to engrave on. When in position, Febo’s lens will automatically concentrate the sun rays into a focal point. When this small circle of concentrated light begins engraving, you can begin to move Febo along your pencil sketch.

If Febo is not placed at 90°s, the light won’t be concentrated enough to guarantee an accurate engraving. Naturally, the strength of the light depends on weather conditions at the time of use.

High quality walnut wood
Febo’s body is carved from walnut by expert Italian artisans, who take care to make every single Febo a product of pristine quality. The walnut wood is prized for its strength and resistance, ensuring the durability of Febo over time. The wood’s internal grain is revealed during the crafting process, making each Febo unique.
A timeless technique
For contemporary art
Since the dawn of time, magnifying lenses have been used to harness the power of the sun: from lighting up fires to drawing permanent decorations on objects. Febo combines this ancient technique with modern creativity, allowing you to decorate objects in the same way of our ancestors, leaving a millennial trace behind!
Created by a team of women
From a students’ project to an entrepreneurial reality
Febo is born from the imagination of a group of students (all girls) during a course at the Design University in Milan. After an initial Kickstarter campaign, their idea became an entrepreneurial reality. As they are still very much part of the project, they are receiving royalties for each Febo sold.
