EYEVAN began in 1972 with the concept of “eyewear to wear.”
Among its collections, EYEVAN 7285 was born in 2013 by dismantling and reassembling the components, based on the designs and manufacturing methods of “EYEVAN CRAFT,” which gave form to what the craftsmen of the time truly wanted to create using their highly refined techniques.
Everything from planning and design to manufacturing is carried out in Japan.
The brand name “7285” was chosen as a tribute to the products and philosophy spanning from 1972, when EYEVAN was founded, to 1985, when it expanded worldwide.
EYEVAN 7285 “1006.”
Its design source was a pair of sunglasses worn in the 1990s by a member of a British rock band admired by the design team.
The horizontally elongated oval shape evokes the atmosphere of that era, while the frame is paired with wide metal temples.
From the front, the frame appears slim, while from the side, the wide temples are clearly visible. This difference in appearance between the front and side views is another defining feature of the model.
The rims feature the “TV-RIM,” inspired by cathode-ray tube televisions.
To create the dimensionality of a CRT screen, the inside of the rim is angled, and the slope is engraved with exceptionally fine lines at a pitch of 0.2 mm.
The detail is so subtle that it is barely noticeable from a distance, but when it catches the light, it creates delicate shading and gives depth to the frame, which is composed entirely of metal.
The sunglasses use original Japanese-made 4-base-curve glass lenses.
Their distinctive color is carefully blended with metallic particles and other materials, then each lens is molded individually from molten glass.
Rather than simply reproducing the oval shape characteristic of the 1990s, the design is reinterpreted as contemporary eyewear through details such as the TV-RIM and wide temples.
The 1006 brings together the slightly idiosyncratic atmosphere of its era with EYEVAN 7285’s meticulous craftsmanship.
※The item includes a dedicated eyeglass case and cleaner.
