Design Philosophy

The KP-285U builds on KIO YAMATO’s sculptural language, introducing material contrast as a defining element. Its geometric silhouette remains deliberate and controlled, while the integrated acetate insert softens the form, creating depth, warmth, and visual balance.

This is a frame where structure meets nuance. Titanium defines the architecture. Acetate shapes the experience. The result feels intentional, expressive, and composed, designed for those who appreciate design that reveals itself slowly.

Subtle decorative accents along the bridge, end pieces, and temples reference traditional Japanese metalwork, offering texture without excess. Nothing is ornamental for the sake of decoration. Every detail carries purpose.

Engineering & Craftsmanship

Titanium + Beta Titanium Construction

The outer structure is crafted from high-grade titanium to ensure strength and long-term stability. Ultra-flexible beta titanium temples provide adaptive movement, allowing the frame to flex naturally with the wearer while maintaining its original alignment.

Acetate Insert Construction

The acetate inner rim introduces both functional and aesthetic advantages. It adds dimensional depth to the frame while enhancing lens seating, making the KP-285U especially suitable for stronger prescriptions. Visually, the acetate creates warmth and contrast against the precision of titanium.

Pre-Fit Wrap-Around Temples

Engineered for comfort, the pre-fit beta titanium temples follow the natural contour of the head. This wrap-around design delivers a secure, pressure-free fit that stays in place throughout the day, reducing the need for repeated adjustments.

3.95mm Rim Wires

With rim wires measuring 3.95mm, nearly double the industry standard, the KP-285U offers both presence and performance. The thicker rim structure:

• Accommodates high-index lenses with ease
• Conceals lens thickness discreetly
• Enhances overall balance and visual weight

Titanium Adjustable Nose Pads

Precision-engineered titanium nose pads provide a customizable fit and improved weight distribution. Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, they ensure long-term comfort while maintaining a refined, technical appearance.

Intricate Filigree Detailing

Micro-etched filigree patterns on the bridge, end pieces, and temples reflect KIO YAMATO’s heritage of fine metal craftsmanship. These tactile details are subtle yet expressive, rewarding close inspection without overpowering the design.
