A derivative line announced in 2013 as part of an effort to rework the EYEVAN archive using modern technology, it is tasked with rebuilding EYEVAN CRAFT. Combining traditional methods with new technologies, it places greater emphasis than the parent brand on craftsmanship and detailed construction, with each piece finished through around 400 manual processes by a limited number of craftspeople in Sabae. It is the core line alongside 10 eyevan, which is parts-driven; E5 eyevan, which is function-driven; and e_BY EYEVAN, which focuses on contemporary minimalism.

A derivative line launched in 2017, it views beautiful tools as collections of parts and designs eyewear by reconsidering it from the screws up. Hirotaka Nakagawa is responsible for the concept and design, using ten special parts and proprietary components such as Torx screws to place the construction itself at the brand’s core. While EYEVAN 7285 focuses on archive reconstruction, E5 eyevan on functionality, and e_BY EYEVAN on contemporary minimalism, this line most clearly foregrounds a parts-based approach.
A practical line that prioritizes functionality above all else

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.
A contemporary-minded eyewear line with a minimalist approach

A new offshoot line launched in 2024, it is centered on the contemporary rather than the modern, taking a minimalist, clean approach that treats the three elements of “product,” “industrial,” and “fashion” in their pure forms. By simplifying structure and design as much as possible and fully embracing an expression attentive to negative space, it creates a distinct point of entry from EYEVAN 7285’s archival character, 10 eyevan’s parts-led approach, and E5 eyevan’s function-led approach. Within the group, it is the line that most directly expresses a contemporary sensibility.
