EYEVAN Spring Summer Collection | Beauty And Strength Of Craftsman’s Tools

Established in 1972, EYEVAN is the first Japanese eyewear brand bringing in the concept of “Eyewear for dressing as a fashion item”. With the hands of skilled craftsman, the state-of the art machine tools and the aesthetic sense of design team, EYEVAN has been creating everlastingly classic art pieces. In the Spring/Summer collection, EYEVAN pays tribute to the book “Dougu Mandara” which was published in 1976 and is a complication of tools made by Japanese craftsmen. Fascinated and attracted by the beauty of the tools and the strength of the shapes, which are made to be used for a long time, EYEVAN incorporated this world view into the design of the collection.

An iconic model Webb with metal temples. The temples are hand-carved by craftsmen with mill patterns on the top and bottom, and on the sides by a three-dimensional press with a traditional Japanese design.

Draper
Inspired by the product in the book “Designer: No Name”, this sirmont blow model has a 3mm wide metal rim with mill patterns on the front part of the rim. The temples are inspired by the cable temples of the 30s, hand-carved by craftsmen with mill patterns on the top and bottom, and on the sides by a three-dimensional press with a traditional Japanese design. Three-dimensional end piece, end tip and rivets, each part is made with the utmost care.
