Blake Kuwahara launched his eponymous eyewear brand to answer a personal need: to create frames that balance understated style with sculptural complexity. As an artist straddling the worlds of fashion, design, and business, Kuwahara envisioned eyewear that speaks to creatives—those who find most glasses either too loud, too dated, or too conventional.

Inspired by a friend’s comment and his own quest for expressive yet subtle frames, Kuwahara developed a signature design approach. Each pair is crafted using labor-intensive techniques that seamlessly fuse an inner silhouette with an unexpected outer shape. The result is a paradox—artful yet wearable, bold yet refined.

His frames are more than accessories—they are quiet statements. Created for those who understand the power of form, tactility, and nuance.
