Masahiro Maruyama designs ‘stacked’ eyewear ‘art’ gems

The ‘Step’ concept is created through a process of stacking different elements like building blocks

Japanese designer Masahiro Maruyama has released the images of his artistic new Step models, striking designs which fully adopt the designer’s love for experimental design. For these models, each part has been stacked one by one, in titanium or acetate. Even the end pieces and bridges have been placed freely like building blocks, without adhering to the norms of classic glasses construction.

The titanium styles are also characterised by a bold hammered pattern, a new titanium texture in this collection, with a special dot pattern hand-painted by craftsmen. The acetate models such as the MM0096 pictured below, have an independent end piece and rim, secured together with visible ‘decorative’ rivet pins to complete the piece. Above: MM-0095 from the latest collection by the Japanese designer, Masahiro Maruyama – an expressive one-of-a-kind frame in titanium
