Revolutionizing Eyewear: The Nine Origin 2730 Limited Edition

A Tribute to Traditional Craftsmanship and Modern Innovation by Jens William Sørensen

The Nine Origin 2730 Limited Edition, a masterpiece by Jens William Sørensen, is a testament to the harmonious blend of traditional Japanese craftsmanship and innovative design. This eyewear, a tribute to the timeless art of handmade design, is a perfect blend of form and function, showcasing the designer's dedication to creating lightweight, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing eyewear.

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.
