ART + FUNCTIONALITY
Blake Kuwahara is a distinctive eyewear brand that seamlessly blends art and functionality, reflecting a rich tapestry of influences from the worlds of art, architecture, fashion, interior design, travel, and culture. The brand's ethos revolves around creating eyewear that is "artful yet wearable," striking the perfect balance between design innovation and everyday practicality.
At the heart of Blake Kuwahara's design philosophy is the belief that eyewear should enhance one's personality without overshadowing it. This philosophy is brought to life through the brand's unique approach to design, where each frame is a meticulously crafted fusion of contrasting forms and colors. By using intricate production techniques and a significant amount of handwork, Blake Kuwahara's signature style emerges: an inner silhouette encased within an unexpectedly fresh outer shape. This "frame within a frame" construction creates a design tension that is thoroughly modern yet comfortably familiar.
