"Jacques Marie Mage has once again demonstrated its mastery of blending art, culture, and luxury eyewear with the release of the Kurokawa, a shield-style aviator that pays homage to the groundbreaking Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa. Known for his role in the Metabolist movement of the 1960s, Kurokawa's designs celebrated adaptability, modernism, and cultural identity. These same themes are evident in Jacques Marie Mage's latest addition to its Kyosho collection, a series dedicated to celebrating icons of Japanese art and culture."
"The Kurokawa is not a standard aviator. Instead, it is a meticulously crafted piece of wearable art that fuses architectural influence with precision craftsmanship. At its core, the frame takes inspiration from the shield-style silhouettes of the 1960s, but its detailing elevates it far beyond a retro revival. The design features hairline-engraved Art Deco patterns, a subtle yet striking tribute to timeless architectural design."
Jacques Marie Mage introduces the Kurokawa, a shield-style aviator inspired by architect Kisho Kurokawa and Metabolist principles of adaptability, modernism, and cultural identity. The frame fuses architectural influence with precision craftsmanship to create a wearable piece of design. Design elements include hairline-engraved Art Deco patterns, handpainted epoxy inlays on the temples, custom monoblock hinges, and polished arrow motifs. The eyewear is offered in four finishes chosen to emphasize the interplay of light, material, and form. A 2-base shield lens provides a sleek wraparound effect that complements the frame’s bold architecture. Each pair ships in a special kit with a leather Longhorn eyewear case and a branded double-sided microfiber cleaning cloth.
