Interview: Jerome Mage from Jacques Marie Mage Eyewear

Classic ’60s-inspired Jacques Marie Mage folders handcrafted in Japan using 100% beta titanium, the ‘Koenig Sun’ are a sophisticated rectangular shape with a medium fit, featuring hairline-engraved wire rims, tailfin-shaped temple tips with recessed volumes, and extraordinary polished metal and epoxy details. Understated, debonair, and deliberate, these pioneers of pocketable design are distinguished demonstrations of postwar ingenuity folders with an origamic display of modernist style and mechanical science dramatically informed by the ever-evolving relationship between art and architecture. From Éditions Pliables—an all new, limited-edition series of eyewear that folds at their bridge and temple tips to transform into a compact and pocketable essential, an innovative design that took over two years to successfully develop. Featuring hairline-engraved wire rims that change from 2mm at the eye to 4 mm at the brow; custom monoblock hinges; new pill-shaped nose pads with bevels; and tailfin-shaped temple tips with recessed volumes. Accompanied by a new, travel-sized, top-loading eyewear case.
