Kata – Nirvana

Happiness is provided by the little things in life, even this Asian-fit frame by Kata Eyewear can accomplish that. Walking around in her hometown Hong Kong, accompanied by her hubby Ben and their 2 adorable daughters, AND being able to wear a frame that will fit her Asian face type, makes Siu-Yin feel like she is free from pain, strain and the worries of life.

KATA’s model ‘Nirvana’ is a squatty square acetate frame with key hole bridge with metal capped end piece décor.  Its acetate temples are adorned with décor and additional Kata insignia metal caps on temple tips.

Many Asians still have issues finding a frame that will actually fit them. Their particular face type typically has a flatter nose bridge which is thinner at the top and then widens out towards the bottom, with higher cheekbones. Fortunately, more and more brands are aware of this “opportunity” and provide frames designed with specifically styled nose bridge, and slightly longer temples, providing a more stable 3-Point fit relationship to reduce nasal and temple pressure.

In Japanese, KATA signifies the concepts of shape and form. KATA eyewear sculpts the fundamental elements of design to create collections that blur the boundaries of accessory and art. KATA is eyewear in its most essential form. With a focus on movement and fuction, KATA re-defines authenticity in eyewear design. The KATA eyewear collection is characterized by strong shapes with clear intentions. Finely crafted works of art that are honed to perfection.

About Kata:

Kata, since first introduced in the mid 90’s, is a Japanese collection designed around four fundamental pillars – simplicity, innovation, responsibility and authenticity, as it explores form, finish and material over adornment. Kata has been re-launch by Design Gallery with an initial men’s collection in early 2018. Established in 2014 as a division of Match Eyewear, Design Gallery is a manufacturer and distributor of premium designer eyewear, serving the high end optical and boutique market. With designer eyewear increasingly recognized as a staple in everyone’s accessory wardrobe, the appeal to provide value in terms of style, quality in manufacture and originality of design became a goal of Match Eyewear.
