KUBORAUM — Berlin Avant-Garde Eyewear at Gazal Eyecare
KUBORAUM
Berlin Avant-Garde · Wearable Sculpture · Hand-Cut in Italy
Kuboraum doesn't make glasses. They make masks.
Founded in 2012 in Berlin by Italian designers Livio Graziottin and Sergio Eusebi, Kuboraum builds eyewear as identity — sculptural, intentionally over-scaled, hand-cut from premium Italian acetate. Each frame is a stage for the face beneath it, not a retreat from it.
The Mask Philosophy
Eyewear as transformation
Most eyewear hides. Kuboraum reveals. The brand's founders trained in fashion, set design, and sculpture before turning to optics — and that pedigree is everywhere in the work. Frames are oversized on purpose. Bridges sit lower than convention says they should. Lens shapes are geometric extremes — perfect circles, hard hexagons, softened squares.
The result is a piece of eyewear that performs the same function as a Venetian half-mask or a Noh theatre prop: it transforms the face into a character. Wear them and you become someone — not someone else, but more of yourself. That's the whole brief.
The Craft
Hand-finished in northeastern Italy
Every Kuboraum frame is hand-cut and hand-polished in a small atelier in northeastern Italy. The acetate is sourced from Mazzucchelli, the same century-old supplier used by the most prestigious independent eyewear houses. Each frame moves through dozens of finishing stages — slow tumbling, hand sanding, multi-step polishing — before its hinges and metalwork are set.
A single Mask K19 takes roughly three weeks from raw acetate sheet to finished frame. Production runs are intentionally limited; some references retire after a single small batch. If you find a Kuboraum reference you love, the rule is to buy it — there is no guarantee it will be made again.
