Inspired by the 80’s dystopian post-punk cult movie, the latest drop from independent eyewear label Kuboraum presents works that are highly textured and fanatical about detail – the R4 mask has a surprising, highly elaborate handcrafted finish
Taking its cues from the 80’s post-punk cult movie, the new Ltd. Edition ‘Liquid Sky’ from Kuboraum is dedicated to fluidity: fluidity of identities, gender, aesthetics, and narratives, the designers explain. Rejecting fixed structures and normative concepts “to embrace the metamorphic state of being”, the line expresses a signature style at Kuboraum where each mask is treated as a work of art, richly textured and made utterly unique by means of striking adornments and embellishments.

The ‘masks’ unveil bold chunky acetate frames, meticulously handcrafted to accentuate their rich texture and uneven ‘sculpted’ surfaces. To elevate the allure, each structure is eventually adorned with refined metal embellishments or subtle sparkling elements, to cast an enchanting, shimmering aura through the design. One of several models in the series, mask R4 is produced in Mazzucchelli acetate and features in several finishes including Black Matt and Black Shine as part of the Liquid Sky drop. The frames are made exclusively in Italy. Find out more at www.kuboraum.com
