Design Philosophy

The KT-575U refines a familiar language. Designed as a more compact interpretation of the KT-545U, it preserves the original’s character while introducing a lighter, more intimate scale.

Its softly rounded silhouette feels composed and intentional. Nothing exaggerated. Nothing removed without reason. Decorative filigree on the bridge and temple sides introduces texture and depth, offering visual interest that reveals itself only with proximity.

This is a frame designed for subtle expression. Balanced. Thoughtful. Quietly distinctive.

Engineering & Craftsmanship

Titanium Construction

The frame is crafted entirely from high-grade titanium, offering strength, lightness, and long-term stability. Its proportions are carefully reduced to suit smaller faces without compromising structural integrity or visual presence.

Ju-Shi Hinge Technology

At the core of the KT-575U is KIO YAMATO’s Ju-Shi hinge system. Utilizing dual synthetic resin washers, this hinge is engineered to stabilize temple movement while maintaining smooth, controlled motion.

The Ju-Shi system
• Reduces stress at the hinge joint
• Preserves alignment over time
• Minimizes loosening from repeated use

The result is a frame that feels consistent and composed, day after day.

Wrap-Around Titanium Temples

The wrap-around temple design gently follows the natural contour of the head, offering a secure, pressure-balanced fit. Subtle filigree detailing on the temple sides adds tactile refinement while preserving clean lines.

Filigree Bridge Detailing

The bridge features finely etched filigree work, referencing traditional Japanese metal artistry. This detail adds character without distraction, grounding the design in heritage while remaining modern in execution.

Titanium Adjustable Nose Pads

Lightweight titanium nose pads allow for precise adjustment and improved weight distribution. Designed for comfort and durability, they support long-term wear while maintaining a refined, technical aesthetic.
