Masahiro-Maruyama

The concept of MASAHIROMARUYAMA is Unfinished Art Beautiful Lines – A form born out of raising a question to perfection Product Concept: Traditional technique + design

In Kawada ward of Sabae city, Fukui prefecture, there is a long-standing factory, where fine craftsmanship and quality go without saying. Spanning half a century well established craftsmen have been using traditional techniques, such as filing and mounting hinges in the traditional Ding-style, which cannot be imitated.

Through in-depth dialogue with these artisans we were able to sniff out subtle nuances, and through the production process we successfully created a finished product. Besides the functionality of the glasses, the overall balance of the frame and the expression of the design are made possible by the artisans’ technical skill.
