KUBORAUM

Monday, January 14th, 2013

New arrivals from Germany, folks! The mask series from KUBORAUM Berlin hit the shelves this week. In this unique series we find clean, hard geometry meeting an organic softness of matte acetate and rounded corners. This refreshingly bold look for Vancouver is only available at bruce!


Kuboraum, meaning cubic room, “is a room where we shelter ourselves, free to live our intimacy and look at the world through two lenses”. Their concept for the Mask series was to represent protection and shelter while participating in a daily game of mockery, as stated on Kuboraum.com.


Stay tuned for photos of the limited edition Burnt series from Kuboraum, where they blow-torch the front of the frame for an aesthetic so hot it’s charred to a crisp!

Mykita’s own MYLON

A truly innovative collection from Mykita, the 2011 iF material award-winning series “Mylon”!

“These are glasses that redefine the borders between the worlds of fashion and sports. All MYLON models boast individual adaptability, low weight and outstanding durability” - mylon.mykita.com

The 3D printing process termed SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) digitally renders three-dimensional objects layer by layer using laser-based heat in polyamide powder.

Each frame comes glazed with Zeiss tinted sun lenses including “an exclusive gold anti-glare, hydrophobic, nano-coating.” Tints provided were specifically catered toward increased visibility for golfers on the green and handily a nice contrast to the natural greys that Vancouver persists in providing.

Mykita is the first company to begin making eyewear with the SLS technology, starting several years ago with project collaborations with designers Rad Hourani, Romain Kremer, Bernhard Willhelm and more recently, Moncler.
