Design Philosophy

First introduced in 2006, the Glider became one of the defining design signatures of KIO YAMATO. Its philosophy is rooted in an idea of design that reveals itself through perspective. From the front, KT-583U appears composed and remarkably minimalistic. Shift the frame to its side or top profile, and the architecture begins to emerge. Refined titanium lines extend, intersect, and change with the viewing angle, giving the frame an entirely different expression. It is a design meant not simply to be seen, but to be noticed by those who understand the language of design.

Craftsmanship & Features

Constructed entirely from titanium, KT-583U brings the Glider philosophy into a new generation. Its refined lines create visual movement without unnecessary ornamentation, allowing the structure itself to become the defining detail.

After a decade without a new release, the return of the Glider is more than a revival.

KT-583U marks the continuation of an idea that began nearly twenty years ago, now expressed through a new form.

• Full titanium construction
• Iconic Glider design language, originally introduced in 2006
• Architectural detailing revealed through the side and top profiles
• Refined, sculptural lines

Designed For

For those who see eyewear as more than an object, and who appreciate the decisions hidden within its construction. KT-583U is quiet from a distance and increasingly expressive the closer you look.

An icon from our past. Reimagined for what comes next.
