Kuboraum: a shape with attitude
A frame that changes an expression while leaving room for your character. A different language of design.

Some frames follow the face with a quiet line. Others surround it like a small architectural object. Kuboraum interests us for that second approach: glasses become a visible part of an expression, with volume and shape that do not disappear into an outfit.
A mask that highlights its wearer
The house calls its frames masks, conceived in Berlin and handmade in Italy. In its language, a mask offers more than concealment. It creates room to play with an expression. Trying a frame is therefore more useful than deciding in advance who its appearance belongs to.
The campaign portrait of Sandra Mujinga shows how construction can change a profile. Metal elements around the lens and quiet dark clothing place the frame first. This is one way of wearing it, rather than a formula: colour, texture or a smile can give the same object a different character.
Give the shape room
If you normally choose a discreet frame, try a more expressive one without feeling obliged to buy it. Look at the relationship between front, bridge and temples. Then step back from the mirror. A shape that seems unusual up close can settle beautifully into an overall look.
Consider its fit alongside its character. A shape that catches your attention needs to make sense when you wear it. For us, the best result is glasses that feel like your choice, even when that choice is different from what you expected yesterday.
