From Saturday, August 1 to Sunday, August 16, the Kajigaya store will host YŌ's exhibition "INCRNTUM."
YŌ's eyewear collection is made with the outstanding craftsmanship of Sabae and original titanium parts built as finely as precision machinery.
Among them is the rimless FORM101, which has a quietly distinctive presence like a piece of jewelry and has often been picked up by our customers.
This time, in addition to the distinctive round-shaped lenses we have offered until now, new shapes and colors have been added, and we will unveil and sell them as a new work.
Pursuing the possibilities of rimless design, we believe you will be able to choose a pair that suits your face shape and fashion better than ever.
On the first two days, August 1 and 2, the designer, Yosuke Shimano, will also be at the exhibition all day.
We hope this will be an opportunity for both those who have already purchased YŌ eyewear and those now considering a pair that suits them to talk with the designer directly, ask for advice, and try the pieces in hand.
During the event, our clothing and fragrances other than YŌ can also be viewed as usual, so please feel free to visit even if you are looking for something other than eyewear.
We began introducing YŌ eyewear in the store exactly one year ago this August, and little by little more customers have been picking it up.
We hope you will look forward to the new rimless models as well.
INCENTUM
What kind of line should be drawn on the landscape that is the face?
INCENTUM is a reflection on that question.
From 100 trials (Inceptum), we gather the faintest of outlines.
Beyond that repetition, we aim for an accumulation of 100 (Centum).
Each line drawn on paper is nothing other than a trace of thought exploring the boundary between space and matter.
The act of drawing and then stripping away is a process of distillation, dismantling the fixed ideas attached to eyeglasses as a product and removing impurities.
The form extracted in this way drifts along the boundary between object and space, and quietly melts into the person who wears it.
What I do is not to present a conclusion.
It is to keep exploring, through the act of design, the unseen forms that lie in the space between things.
