KUBORAUM
Kuboraum glasses were born in Berlin in 2012, from a project by Italian designer Livio Graziottin and anthropologist Sergio Eusebi. The brand doesn't call them glasses but Masks: objects designed on the face of the person who wears them, meant to bring out character. The house rule is in the motto, "dreamed in Berlin, handmade in Italy": designed in Berlin, made by hand in Italy.

History and workshop
Kuboraum organises its collections by material: acetate, metal, acetate and metal, rimless frames and the Eyecouture line in precious materials. Alongside the optical and sun Masks come the more experimental series, Machinery and Hydromechanics, and projects with the art world, such as the collaboration with the Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin.
Lines and models
Every Mask has a code: a letter for the series, a number for the shape, a code for the colour. The OCCHIO! selection holds more than two hundred Masks across optical frames and sunglasses: K series shapes such as K3, K5, K26, K30 and K37; the P series, from P8 and P18 to P30 and P31; the metal Z14, Z17 and Z19; the L12, the Y3, the F5 and the Masks of the H series.

The Kuboraum Masks: series, models and measurements
The series
Kuboraum works with sculpted acetate, metal and artistic experimentation, from slender profiles to bold, sculptural volumes. Models are grouped in series identified by a letter, such as the K series, the P series and the rimless H series, Machinery and Hydromechanics, with capsules and special editions alongside.
A page for every Mask
Official measurements and every colour available now: K3, K5, K26, K30, K37, P8, P18, P30, P31, L12, Y3, F5.

From the Journal: Kuboraum: the ideas behind the Masks and Ocean Cage: ASIANDOPEBOYS × Kuboraum. For materials, see acetate glasses.
How to choose
Most of the selection has a lens width between 48 and 55 mm and 145 mm temples. K3 (52/19), K5 (51/20) and P8 (53/17) are a good starting point for a medium face. For a narrow face, J6 and S2 have 44–46 mm lenses and a 25 mm bridge. The metal Z Masks pair small lenses with a wide bridge: Z17 39/27, Z14 41/25, Z19 43/25. At the other end sits the L12, with a 61 mm lens and a 13 mm bridge. Compare lens width and bridge with a pair you already wear comfortably.
