Kazuo Kawasaki ACT-17 is in stock now!

New items from Kazuo Kawsaki's ACT series are now in stock.

 

 

Industrial designer Kazuo Kawasaki and Masunaga Eyeglasses, a long-established eyeglass frame manufacturer in Fukui Prefecture, have teamed up to create the Kazuo Kawasaki series.

They are designed with attention to ergonomics and stress-free wearing comfort.

 

 

The thin metal frames are retained, but the lens shape is a square with a narrower top and bottom, which has become a bit rare nowadays.

We know that there are people who are not comfortable with the vertical Boston or round models that are currently in vogue, so when we find a design like this model, we take care to actively put it on our store shelves.

 

 

The line is thinned down to 0.9mm when viewed from the front, but is thick enough when viewed from the side to accommodate even those with strong myopia.

The thicker components also provide strength and functionality in a simple design.

 

 

The springiness of the temples is important when tightening the temples to the side of the head, but the hinge part is a plate spring, so the temples bend moderately, making them light and comfortable to wear.

 

 

The temples are also made very thin, and the back is made thicker so that the center of gravity does not go only to the front, so the weight balance is considered throughout, which is another selling point.

 

 

This frame is recommended for those who are looking for a simple but well-made frame.

 

Kazuo Kawasaki ACT-17 44,000 yen (tax included)
