Inspired by a hairpin to create the comfortable fitting to wear with flexibility without stress. The hairpin has function of shape memory and elasticity. This function is made to combine two different lengths of arch, which is made from a very simple system. We applied this system into the temple. We tested it by prototype and studied it over and over again and eventually completed the construction with smooth temple movement, flexibility, stability and comfort to wear.
Epoch-making temple system 「multi arch system」was completed by our desire to develop comfortable, flexible & stable eye glasses to wear. Beta titanium material sheets being lightweight and elasticity are processed to make double arch and single arch, and they are put together to complete one temple. The multi-arch-system made by a combination of two different curved parts precisely designed enabled us to provide wearing comfortability in the eye wear we have never experienced in the eyewear industry before. Elegant form like a ballet dancer being gentle. Stable and Comfortable fitting. Light as if you don’t feel to wear a glass. In order to make space in the temple to have stable fitting, geometric patterns are made by pressing, and high level of frames are completed with harmony of delicate/elegant designs and precise dimensions.
Name of brand is from Ballerina, Italian and we named it “Banerina” by a combination of “bane” in Japanese meaning “spring” in English and “B” from beta titanium.
