Kuboraum LTD gold burnt edition
1st July 2013 The Kuboraum Limited Edition gold burnt masks are something of a spectacle. They combine a futuristic identity with references to the ancient traditions of mask making and they are made with painstaking care and attention to minute detail and special handcrafting techniques. Designed in Berlin and made in Italy, Ltd Burnt is based on an extraordinary and still patent pending handcrafting technique. Every mask is burnt by hand in a complicated process that makes each design unique. During the process, 24 carat gold accessories, made by a Venetian artisan, are inserted onto the frame itself. The lenses are treated with 18 carat gold for the ultimate luxury look.
Sergio Eusebi of Kuboraum told Eyestylist: “With our eyewear, we would like to give people the opportunity to feel unique and special, with a timeless taste; to be able to look in the mirror and have a feeling of evolution, authenticity, and amazement. We see eyewear as sculpture, attracting a strong relationship from which it would be difficult to return. Our Ltd Gold Burnt is without doubt the maximum expression of the power of the Kuboraum mask, a power that is ready to be revealed on real faces.”
Kuboraum was created in February 2012 by Livio Graziottin, designer/artist, Sergio Eusebi, anthropologist/marketing director and Antonio Pincin, production engineer. The Gold Edition has been made exclusively for show at Isetan Tokyo and Monocle Rome, stores that both have a special relationship with the Berlin label. Kuboraum will open a new store and showroom in Berlin during Berlin Fashion Week on 4th July 2013. Kopenicker Strasse 96, D-10179, Berlin, Germany. In the UK, Kuboraum can be found at selected stockists including Viren Jani (www.virenjani.com) and Layers (www.layerslondon.com).
