A function-focused derivative line launched in 2021, it is based on the principle of determining form from role and purpose, and is designed around the functions required for modern life. Its characteristics include restrained ornamentation and an emphasis on ease of use and everyday practicality, including the use of bio-acetate for approximately 70% of the plastic used. Unlike EYEVAN 7285’s archive reconstructions, 10 eyevan’s parts design, and e_BY EYEVAN’s contemporary minimalism, it occupies the position within the group of prioritizing practicality above all else.
