The Blake Kuwahara Erikson is a bold, squared-off navigator that epitomizes the designer’s "artful yet wearable" ethos. By encasing a classic, masculine inner silhouette within a clean, structural outer frame, the Erikson creates a "floating" optical illusion that feels both vintage-inspired and thoroughly modernist.
Construction & Material Details
Dual-Layer Lamination: Utilizing a laborious, multi-month handmade process, the Erikson features a distinct inner shape seamlessly fused into a translucent or contrasting outer frame. This creates a design tension that highlights the frame's architectural depth.
Artisanal Japanese Acetate: Crafted from premium, high-density Japanese acetate. The material is hand-sculpted and polished to achieve a glass-like finish, particularly on the "touch points" to ensure a tactile, high-end feel.
Refined Hardware Details: Features a singular, minimalist front pin and custom-sculpted temples adorned with the Blake Kuwahara logo. The temples are engineered for a secure, comfortable fit that balances the weight of the bold front profile.
Contoured Saddle Bridge: Designed with a refined saddle bridge to provide a continuous, masculine profile while ensuring even weight distribution across the nose for all-day wearability.
Technical Dimensions
Lens Width: 55mm
Bridge Width: 19mm
Temple Length: 150mm
Frame Shape: Structured Navigator / Rectangular Hybrid
Manufacturing: Hand-finished in Japan
Expert Note: The Erikson is an ideal choice for those with medium to larger face shapes who want a commanding, broad-fronted frame. The 55mm lens width provides substantial coverage, making it a perfect candidate for both optical prescriptions and high-fashion sunwear. Its structured lines are particularly effective at adding definition to round or oval faces.
