masahiromaruyama
Masahiromaruyama is one of the most distinctive eyewear makers in the world, and at Atelier Mira we’re proud to host this truly original Japanese brand to Brooklyn. These frames stand apart because they embrace something most designers try to avoid: imperfection. Masahiro Maruyama builds his collections around the idea of the “unfinished,” where asymmetry, irregular lines, and unexpected details become the defining features. Instead of hiding the handmade process, each frame highlights it — celebrating the human touch.
Every pair is crafted in Sabae, Japan, a region known for its century-long heritage of eyewear production. Skilled artisans shape titanium and acetate by hand, preserving the subtle variations that make each piece feel alive. These differences aren’t accidental; they’re intentional choices that give the wearer something unique, personal, and expressive. You’ll notice it right away — a slight irregularity in the lens shape, a sculpted edge, a hand-finished texture. These details give the frames depth and character, the kind of artistry you simply won’t find in mass-produced eyewear.
For our clients at Atelier Mira, Masahiromaruyama resonates because it speaks directly to individuality. These glasses aren’t meant for blending in. They’re for people who appreciate creativity, who see eyewear as a medium of self-expression, and who value craftsmanship over conformity. When you try them on, you feel the difference immediately. They carry a presence — subtle but intentional, unconventional yet refined.
We love fitting clients in these frames because the experience often becomes an exploration. You start noticing the small choices made by the designer and the artisan: the angle of a line, the tension in the shape, the balance between structure and irregularity. It’s the kind of design that invites you to look closer. And once you do, it’s hard to go back to anything ordinary.
Atelier Mira brings Masahiromaruyama to Brooklyn for people who want their eyewear to feel like art — wearable, functional, expressive art that reveals something about the person who wears it. If you’re searching for frames with soul, intention, and unmistakable character, this collection is worth experiencing firsthand.
