The Nine Origin 2730 stands out due to its unique combination of materials: original Japanese acetate, grade 2 medical Titanium, and Beta Titanium. The intricate structure of this eyewear, more delicate and complex than typical optical frames, is a testament to Sørensen's attention to detail and commitment to quality. The frame's flexibility and lightness are achieved through a meticulous design process, resulting in a product that is as comfortable as it is stylish.
The production process of this eyewear is a marvel in itself. The frame consists of temples made from 0.7 mm. sheet Beta Titanium, ensuring flexibility and optimal comfort. The hinges are made from pure grade 2 medical Titanium, combined with stainless steel rivets. The front sheet, laser cut from flexible Beta Titanium, and the hand-made eyebrows, crafted from Japanese-produced acetate, add to the frame's aesthetic appeal. The acetate, created using natural cellulose obtained from wood, is environmentally friendly and offers a unique touch feeling, setting it apart from petroleum-based plastics.
The Nine Origin 2730 is not just a product, but a result of extensive research and a deep understanding of materials and craftsmanship. The construction of this frame is a complex process, relying on the skills of highly experienced Japanese craftsmen. The challenge of creating lightweight eyewear with a bold look was met by developing a structure that combines layers of titanium and Japanese acetate. Instead of hiding the construction, it is celebrated as part of the overall design, showcasing each layer in a sophisticated and simplistic way.
With a width of 13.9cm, a height of 4.6cm, and a temple length of 14.5cm, the Nine Origin 2730 is designed for a perfect fit. The frame can be fitted with different temple lengths or custom wide temples, ensuring optimal comfort for the wearer. This eyewear is a testament to Sørensen's commitment to creating products that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional and comfortable.
The Nine Origin 2730 Limited Edition is a winner of the prestigious Silver A' Jewelry, Eyewear, and Watch Design Award in 2019. This award is a testament to the design's outstanding expertise and innovation, showcasing a remarkable level of excellence and introducing positive feelings, amazement, and wonder. It is a tribute to the way handmade designer eyewear should always be made, with no shortcuts, just pure Japanese know-how passed down through generations.
