We had the good fortune of connecting with Dominic & Felicia Tramontozzi & Ohrt and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dominic & Felicia, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Co-founders Dominic Tramontozzi & Felicia Ohrt launched Absideon as a brand determined to create amazing connections and products that will enhance a lifestyle of confidence. The brand name originates from Greek and Latin roots: abs – (away) ide -(thoughts) ion – (action); ABSIDEON collectively meaning to remove negative thoughts, and in many ways enrich a newly found confidence. Through our devotion to capture and showcase all aspects of beauty, we aim to evoke individuality through pieces that make you stand out. Inclusive to all face shapes our sunglasses hold a trendy, bold and modern look to them pairing luxury styles with affordable pricing. Knowing that the best products come from instinct and hard work, the 23-year-olds have big plans for this brand and won’t stop until they get there.

What should our readers know about your business?
We have always been creative individuals. As individuals, the founders of Absideon strive to embrace different aspects of fashion and showcase all aspects of style in their personal lives. We wish to embrace our own style and transform it into a brand, that is what made it easy. Absideon is a product of our own style and vibe which allowed the creation of this brand to be authentic.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
We’re major foodies here at Absideon so it’s only right to start our day with some brunch vibes. We would definitely head over to the rooftop at KÖST and order some lobster eggs benny and the coconut pancakes while overlooking the city, shades on obviously. I think it only makes sense to hit up Queen Street for a little shopping spree. Tequila and tacos are a must so we’d have to stop by Anjeo on King. They have every margarita you can think of. The goal is to leave having tried them all. We’d cure our hangover with a Raptors game and make a pit stop at the CN tower on our way home.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
We give credit where credit is due! The men and women of our world today deserve this shoutout and recognition. It is safe to say that today’s generation has mastered the ways to keep up with the constantly changing trends and styles. This was our inspiration to begin our story. Absideon’s aim is to provide the people with sustainable and affordable products while embodiying and keeping up with each and every trend and style, all while creating our own of course. We constantly aim to provide our consumers with products that will allow them to stay on-trend, which is what they do best.
