When I had the opportunity to interview him at Huinum in the past, I was overwhelmed by his precise and sincere eyewear making. I am talking about Hirotaka Nakagawa, who designs eyewear for and other brands.
Learning from the new 10 eyevan, how beautiful design should be.
THE EYEVAN Kyoto Gion", which houses a lineup of his brands, will celebrate its 5th anniversary with the release of a special product.
From the brand "10 eyevan," based on the concept of "beautiful tools," here is the Kyoto Gion limited edition color "MAT STAR GOLD" of the original aviator shape "no.10," which employs the brand's first three-bridge design.
The special design pursues harmony with the brand's iconic beta-titanium Torx screws. Based on the refined Star Gold plating, skilled craftsmen hand-matte each piece to create a special texture that combines tranquility and presence.
Frames are available in two sizes to fit a wide range of users regardless of gender or style.
117,700 yen
¥271,700 Special model with K18 end tips.
¥139,700 Equipped with a glass lens called "NIGHT LENS".
In addition, this model comes with a wooden case made of lacquered chestnut wood. This special product combines the spirit of Sabae's eyeglass manufacturing and Kyoto's traditional craftsmanship.
It will go on sale on Saturday, June 13.
