Architectural "Frame-Within-a-Frame" Square Named after the legendary architect Oscar Niemeyer, the NIEMEYER is a highlight of Blake Kuwahara’s collection. It perfectly illustrates his signature design language: a structural, multi-dimensional frame created by fusing two distinct silhouettes. The inner frame provides a crisp, geometric foundation, while the outer translucent layer softens the edges, creating a sophisticated "floating" effect.
Technical Craftsmanship & Material Details
Handmade in Japan: Meticulously crafted in Japan’s premier eyewear workshops, where artisans use specialized techniques to fuse two separate acetate frames into one seamless object.
Dual-Layer Lamination: The NIEMEYER features a solid-colored inner frame encased in a thicker, crystal-clear or translucent outer chassis, highlighting the architectural complexity of the design.
Premium Japanese Acetate: The material is chosen for its exceptional clarity and luster, ensuring the "floating" inner frame remains sharp and vibrant.
Sculptural Beveling: The outer frame is hand-polished and beveled to create soft, rounded edges that contrast beautifully with the sharp geometry of the inner silhouette.
Fit & Ergonomics
Tailored Square Profile: With a 49mm lens width, the NIEMEYER offers a more tailored, mid-sized fit compared to the bulkier SPENCE. It is a perfect choice for those who want architectural impact without overwhelming their facial features.
Engineered Stability: The 22mm bridge is designed for a secure, balanced fit, ensuring the frame stays properly positioned on the bridge of the nose throughout the day.
Refined 145mm Temples: The temples are streamlined to reduce weight, featuring a wire-core construction for easy adjustment and long-term shape retention.
Prescription Ready: This optical frame features stable lens orbits specifically designed to be fitted with high-quality Single Vision or Progressive lenses.
Technical Dimensions
Model: NIEMEYER
Lens Width: 49mm
Bridge Width: 22mm
Temple Length: 145mm
Shape: Architectural Layered Square
Material: Multi-Layered Acetate
Expert Note The NIEMEYER is a "structure-builder" that works beautifully for round, heart, and oval face shapes. Its 49mm size makes it highly versatile, fitting medium-sized faces with ease. The "Grey Crystal" colorway is a particular favorite—the translucent outer layer creates a ghost-like halo around the darker inner frame, making it look more like a piece of wearable art than a standard pair of glasses.
