The designer Patrick Jouin reproduced Hakino’s
fundamental codes, the association of wood and acetate, to design 6 new frames
(4 optical and 2 sunglasses), and to challenge the Nantes-based eyewear
manufacturer, in order to push the limits of production. The starting point of
the reflection is technology. The designer vision deals with technical
innovation, with Hakino’s know-how, which has developed a plywood, a laminated
bentwood which is very interesting to machine. These layers, a stratification
of the material, naturally create a drawing. An external facade with sweeping
lines, fine features, and a sleek design, contrasts with the interior,
intimate, and well-rounded comfort, designed like a pebble. A great attention
is given to these contact areas between the body and the wood, this organic
material so comfortable to wear. The manual finishing strengthens this
aestheticism.
The optical frames:
The optical frames are the reflection of a
surprising combination of materials. The use of the laminated bentwood of the
same species lets guess that the optical frames are in solid wood (roasted
acacia, amaranth, bubinga). Secondly, we discover their lightness, and the
natural drawing of the different layers of wood.
The sunglasses frames:
The sunglasses frames are fashion accessories
with a distinctive design. The associative work between two wood species (walnut
and roasted acacia) allows here the machining of the first one to make the
second one appear as concealed inside. A real ornamental work then reveals
itself, the woods shading off into each other allow a smooth junction with the
acetate.
The Nantes-based eyewear manufacturer Hakino
unveiled their very first capsule collection, a carte blanche for the designer Patrick
Jouin in 2018.
