Kio Yamato Optics presents O&X New York. O&X eyewear is a blend of opposites: simplicity and luxury, traditional sophistication and up-to-the-minute style, bold and graceful elements.
For example, in O&X frame 14, a classic eyewear shape is turned into a modern, stylish frame. The frame has a vibrant face balanced by striped temples. This balance draws the eyes of onlookers across the face and along the temples. The frame comes in red, purple, brown, and blue—allowing wearers to express their various personalities.
Many of the O&X frames exhibit this art and spirit. The metallic model O&X OT 101 has a squared oval face frame with graceful, waving hinges connecting to slim earpieces. O&X OP 05 is executed in rich burgundy plastic with a generous, sculpted face frame that rises as it arches to the temples. And avant-garde O&X OT 111 has almost rimless frames – for pure simplicity and featherweight lightness.
The O&X New York collection expresses the Kio Yamato design philosophy and spirit of timeless beauty that draws on the past, present, and future for styling inspiration, and leads the way in developing leading fashion based on technology that other companies are now discovering.
Targeted to all age groups, these are frames for passionate people who strive to learn and grow and love life. Design elements such as sculpted temples, extended end-pieces, and graceful, decorative patterns bring richness to each frame. Shapes for men and women are classic and ageless—or modern, sophisticated variations on classics. Colors range from metal tones to deep shades of blue and burgundy.
What does O&X stand for? That’s O&X as in “out” and “exposed” because this collection of 25 eyeglasses and four sunglasses is designed for self-expression as well as for comfortable, durable wear. With an O&X frame, your personality comes “out” and is “exposed” by your frame selection—its material, color, and design.
Manufactured in Japan and drawing on centuries of craftsmanship, O&X eyewear is executed in titanium, plastic, and plastic-titanium combinations—for supreme comfort and long-lasting wear. These materials are shaped by complex processes—with each frame piece finished by hand to create fashionable, unique eyeglasses and sunglasses that are wearable by individualists, according to their preferences and needs.
The name says it all. “Kio Yamato” is not a person’s name. “Kio” means pure and clean. “Yamato” is the name of an ancient Japanese province and means “The Great Peace.” This was the site of a Japanese court known for its splendor, and technological and cultural advances—and also known for symbolizing grace and wisdom.
Take a look at O&X eyewear today—and express and expose your personality with timeless style.
