■DESIGNER COMMENT

セルフレームでツーブリッジを作りたい。
でも、すべてをセルで仕上げると少し重たく見えてしまい、特に女性には手が伸びにくい。
そこで着想を得たのが、メタルとのコンビネーションでした。

ブリッジの一部にチタンを使うことで、抜け感のあるハイブリッジ風のデザインに。
フロントは、丸みのあるボストンをベースに、少しシャープさを加えたシェイプ。
そこにメタルブリッジを組み合わせることで、クラシックとは異なる、モダンでナードなツーブリッジが完成しました。

素材にもこだわり、フロントには軽やかな掛け心地を叶えるオリジナルのβチタンを使用。
テンプルには、耳の高さの違いに対応できるアジャスターヒンジを採用し、傾斜角の細かな調整が可能です。
鼻まわりは、やや広めのブリッジとクリングスタイプのパッドで安定感あるフィットに。長時間の着用でも快適さが続きます。

製造は、日本屈指の眼鏡産地・福井県鯖江。
熟練の職人が一本ずつ丁寧に仕上げた、高品質な日本製フレームです。

I wanted to create a double-bridge frame in acetate.
But making the entire frame from acetate tends to look bulky—especially for women, it can feel a bit too heavy.
That’s where the idea of combining it with metal came in.

By using titanium for one of the bridges, we introduced a sense of lightness, creating a high-bridge look with more balance.
The front design is based on a rounded Boston shape, with a subtle sharpness added for a cleaner silhouette.
Pairing this with a metal bridge results in a hybrid double-bridge frame—modern, nerdy, and refreshingly different from the classic style.

We paid close attention to materials as well.
The front uses our original β-titanium for a light and comfortable fit.
Temples are equipped with adjustable hinges, allowing fine-tuning of the tilt angle to accommodate differences in ear height.
At the nose, a wider bridge and adjustable pad arms (clings) provide a stable, secure fit—comfortable enough for long hours of wear.

Each frame is handcrafted in Sabae, Fukui—Japan’s leading eyewear production region.
Skilled artisans carefully finish every piece, ensuring the exceptional quality that defines Japanese manufacturing.
