“10eyevan” is eyewear that Hirotaka Nakagawa, designer of the EYEVAN design team, embodied the design and functionality that seems to be purely beautiful as a concept of “Beautiful Tool” based on his aesthetic sense. Based on the idea that a beautiful tool is a collection of beautiful parts, the design team created new design which are consisted of 10 special parts, selecting and examining parts carefully more than three years.

▲ These 10 parts are original and special, having both a beautiful shape and functionality: 1) β-titanium Torx screw 2) Closing block hinge 3) Titanium rim 4) 2 base curve lens 5) Shell shaped hinge 6) Natural shell pads 7) Crossed bridge 8) Flexible β- titanium wire temple 9) 18 K gold balancer end-tip 10) Silver 925 balancer end -tip

Continuing from the metal series to the celluloid series, the long-awaited new series “Sirmont” brow style has appeared while keeping the amount of heat. This model is different from the traditional Sirmont style, imbued with the brand’s modern charm style.

▲ This hinge is easy to exchange and attach, yet tight when putting on by using the original tool developed for this hinge, which has a really ideal construction for attaching.

▲ In order to keep balance at front and backward Silver 925 end-tip is placed at temple-end which is heavier specific gravity than titanium in the same volume.
