Blake Kuwahara

Blake Kuwahara is an eyewear brand. Its official brand page states that the brand ethos is to bring to market eyewear that is "artful yet wearable", and that a "frame within a frame" lamination construction is one means to that end. The page also describes the Grey Label as a laboratory for exploring design concepts released as capsule collections, with the first series inspired by skeletal articulation and using the same casting techniques as jewelry makers.

The official brand page describes the design approach behind the eyewear collection: influences such as art, architecture, fashion, interior design, travel, and culture are put through a visual filter, producing a curated collection of eyewear with a soulful, tactile, and artisanal sensibility. It states that laborious production techniques and handwork encase an inner silhouette in an unexpectedly fresh outer shape, and that the seamless fusion of two frames with contrasting form and color creates a design tension described as thoroughly modern yet comfortably familiar. The page also states that the Grey Label was developed as a laboratory to explore different design concepts released as capsule collections, and that the first series from the Grey Label Collection was inspired by skeletal articulation, using the same casting techniques as jewelry makers.
