THE FUTURES EYEWEAR
New Creation, New Style, New Value.
FACTORY900 produces "THE FUTURE EYEWEAR” created through continuous innovation.
We, at Aoyama Optical, are a small factory who is always manufactured plastic eyeglasses for three generations over 80 years in the capital of Japanese eyewear, Fukui, Japan. During our long history, we have always challenged ourselves and finally have obtained magnificent plastic - forming techniques in 1970. The manufacturing technique is highly regarded as so unique and one - of - a - kind that industry peers cannot even imagine how it is made.
In 2000, a head designer Yoshinori Aoyama and we started our own brand to create more sophisticate and exquisite eyewear with th e concept “THE FUTURES EYEWEAR”. "900" is derived from the number designated to our factory by the government. Thus, FACTORY900 can handle all the production pro cesses of eyeglasses from start to finish.
Gaining global recognition for its unique and distinctive shape and design, our artisans finish the frames individually with gre at care every day.
DESIGNER
⻘⼭嘉道 Yoshinori AOYAMA
In designing FACTORY900, what is important is the "object" itself, and at the core of this is the question, "Can a person cry just by looking at a pair of glasses?
Beauty does not reside in "objects".
The fact that a person "feels" beauty means that their heart has been moved.
So that many people feel beautiful, we have to create something that can push the heart switch of many more people.
FACTORY900 is built around this thought.
ORIGINAL 3D MODELING TECHNOLOGY
Aoyama Optical, which has been in business for more than 80 years, is one of the few integrated production factories in the e yeg lass manufacturing industry that performs almost all production processes by hand.
The 3D modeling, which is unparalleled in the modeling of eyeglasses, is the result of a manufacturing technology that is comple tely confidential and not disclosed to the public.
Even professionals in the field of eyeglass manufacturing are astonished by the beauty of the modeling that is created from a si ngle acetate sheet. Craftsmen work day by day to create eyeglass frames that can only be made here.
ORIGINAL HINGE SYSTEM
Our original spring hinge system is stretchable, so even voluminous eyeglasses do not feel heavy, and do not tire easily even wh en worn for long periods of time.
Different hinges are used according to the characteristics of each part number to provide optimum wearing comfort.
The frames are also designed so that when a load is applied to the frame, the spring hinges bear the load to prevent damage to t he frame itself as much as possible.
2024 SPRING SUMMER COLLECTION
MORE FUTURISTIC, NEW VINTAGE
- Reconsideration of material -
We live dialogue with someone. We also live dialogue with things and objects. Through dialogue, we communicate our thoughts and deepen our understanding of each other.
During the past few months, we have once again had a chance to have a dialogue with materials. FACTORY900 was originally launched by a factory that manufactures acetate glasses to pursue the possibilities of acetate material itself and plastic eyeglass manufacturing technology. And here, we had a chance to take a fresh look at acetate material. Objects do not speak, but they do respond to our questions. This new collection was born after reconsidering the process of drawing out the potential of acetate, which FACTORY900 has been pursuing for a long time.
This time, the three - dimensional expression was achieved using a different method than the past ones. Relief technique and expression of softness. This collection is the crystallization of our desire to give acetate a wider range of expression.
Dialogue with objects is our starting point.
