• Issey Miyake Eyes Introduces 3D Printed Sunglasses with Eight Concave Lenses March 4
Additional Context
Issey Miyake Eyes has released UROKO, a pair of sunglasses featuring eight concave lenses arranged in two rows of four on each side of the frame. The design draws inspiration from the ceramic works of Japanese potter Shoji Kamoda, incorporating repetitive patterns characteristic of his pottery into eyewear design.
The sunglasses use concave lenses that curve inward rather than outward, allowing the optical components to sit closer together within the frame. This design approach reduces the overall size of the structure compared to traditional flat lens arrangements. The frame supports the lenses in a visible sequence that creates a distinctive appearance.
The frame is manufactured using 3D printing technology and undergoes a finishing process that creates intentionally uneven surfaces. T
