Blake Kuwahara

A collection of frames that are a mashup of my colliding aesthetics with special attention paid to sculpting and tactility. They are artful but wearable. By using laborious production techniques and a lot of handwork, an inner silhouette is encased in an unexpectedly fresh outer shape. This seamless fusion of two frames and the juxtaposition of contrasting form and color create a design tension that is thoroughly modern yet comfortably familiar. A paradox. Like me.

Bottega Veneta

Bottega Veneta has established a new standard of luxury since its founding in the Veneto region of Italy in 1966. From Bottega Veneta’s atelier - within an 18th-century villa in Montebello Vicentino - with their hands, eyes and heart, they turn leather craftsmanship into an art.
