FACTORY900

The Fukui region is home to some of Japan's most illustrious eyewear brands. FACTORY 900 is among the eyewear legends on this list. This is for an excellent reason: Since 1937, the company headquartered in Sabae has been making eyewear in its own plant. The term 'Factory 900' really relates to the factory's government-issued number at the time. These ancient origins provide a firm foundation for forging ahead with brand-new production techniques.

These approaches, inspired by the slogan "The Future of Eyewear," include a revolutionary plastic frame-forming procedure. It enables FACTORY 900 to make one-of-a-kind forms and avant-garde designs using the industry's thickest acetate. These sculpted and three-dimensional designs, which are both bold and wearable, have garnered countless prizes across the world. So far, he has received three consecutive Japanese Eyewear Awards and two Silmo d'Or Awards. Out of over 7200 entries, the 3D-sculpted RF-064 model won the renowned iF Design Award in 2020 for its novel hinge system and unusual design.
