BONE SERIES Ⅲ

CONCEPT

ISSEY MIYAKE EYES PROJECT sees the arrival of its third series, in collaboration with Japanese eyewear manufacturer KANEKO OPTICAL, which debuted in fall 2015 with the BONE SERIES; followed by the introduction of BONE SERIES II in spring 2016. We continue to focus on the beauty of a single line which continues from one temple end through the top rim and bridge to the other temple end, which was also seen in BONE SERIES III. Just like our passion for “a piece of cloth,” a concept at the heart of the ISSEY MIYAKE brand, we believe that the functionality and appeal of eyewear can also be symbolized with a single line.

TECHNICAL

DETAIL 1 Metal frame
The first all-titanium metal frame in the collection. This style further emphasizes the “single line” that has been followed in successive generations of ISSEY MIYAKE EYES series. Following the "BONE SERIES", which emphasizes the form with stoic coloring, and the "BONE SERIES II", which expresses playfulness with colorful colors, we are proposing a new frame with a two-color gradation coating. Allergy-free use with baked paint and precious metal plating on titanium, so you can wear it with confidence. The temples, which are the iconic design of the series, are of course slim when viewed from the front, but the rims have a solid depth, and the color shines well. drift.

DETAIL 2 Lens
The simple form of the metal frame is emphasized by adopting a 2-curve lens instead of a 0-curve flat lens, which causes reflections on the back side. It is a detail that creates a modern silhouette while considering ease of use.
