Join us for a special podcast episode where we dive into the philosophy behind the upcoming "PADMA IMAGE x N PRODUCT Trunk Show," hosted by Makoto Optical in Tokyo!
In this episode, Makoto Optical's Hoshino-san shares his personal passion for eyewear that transcends mere "suitability" and embraces the joy of personal discovery. He introduces two exceptional Japanese eyewear brands, PADMA IMAGE and N PRODUCT, both crafted by designer Meiji Hasui from Kagawa.
PADMA IMAGE challenges conventional beauty with its "comfortable sense of displacement" – unique, often asymmetrical designs (like the "Shichisan" series) that are simple yet unforgettable. N PRODUCT explores the exquisite beauty of natural materials, primarily buffalo horn, creating truly one-of-a-kind frames with the depth of an oil painting, reflecting a philosophy of "paying respect to materials like Japanese cuisine does."
Hoshino-san discusses why he believes eyewear selection shouldn't be about rigid rules or trends, but about trusting your intuition and choosing what truly excites you. He invites listeners to explore "unconventional" frames that might "puzzle 80% but captivate 20%," and learn about Makoto Optical's unique "I select. You decide." service, designed to guide you effortlessly to "your 3" perfect pairs.
This trunk show is an invitation to explore a "forest of glasses" where freedom reigns, and your pure "liking" leads the way. Discover how a single pair of glasses can add a little sparkle to your daily life and awaken a new "eyewear personality" within you.
