What to know about Yuichi Toyama
Made in Sabae, Fukui
Frames are produced in Japan's eyewear manufacturing hub in titanium, acetate and combination builds, developed through Toyama's own company, Atelier Cinq.
Structure over decoration
Thin metal rims, sculpted bridges and references to everyday objects give the shapes an architectural, pared-back look rather than a retro or logo-driven one.
The :5 line goes further
YUICHI TOYAMA:5 is the premium tier, built with five Sabae specialists using original parts and screws instead of standard components.
