Kirk & Kirk Unveils Two New Styles in Paris

Picture the future of optics - where the full potential of the industry is thoughtfully shaped and realized. Back in 1919, Sidney and Percy Kirk embarked on a visionary journey, and now, two generations later, Jason and Karen Kirk proudly carry forward their legacy. Over a century of innovation, craftsmanship, and bold creativity has brought the brand to this pivotal moment. Their latest campaign, "Embrace the Light", encapsulates not only the brand’s rich heritage but also its continued dedication to pushing the boundaries of eyewear design and technology for the modern age. As the future swiftly approaches, the world of optics must adapt to the inevitable changes. The latest campaign, "Embrace the Light", captures this vision - a blend of human artistry and AI-driven advancements that guide us toward the future while respecting the brand's heritage. Kirk & Kirk invites you to join us in welcoming the light of tomorrow.

Expertly handcrafted in France from the innovative K-Lite™ material, the Falcon and Cat frames are a stunning showcase of Karen Kirk's distinct design philosophy. Every detail, from the smooth curves to the sharp angles, is carefully hand-polished, bringing out the unique light transmission qualities of the material. This meticulous craftsmanship not only enhances the frames' lightweight feel but also ensures a striking aesthetic that plays with light and shadow. The result is eyewear that combines elegance with function, offering a true representation of modern artistry and timeless design.

The new Lagoon colorway brings a fresh vibrancy to the already striking 10mm collection, elevating its appeal with rich shades of vivid blues and greens. This captivating palette enhances standout frames like Thor, a former Silmo D’Or award winner known for its bold yet sophisticated design, and Blaze, a favorite among celebrities for its unique blend of style and personality. The Lagoon’s dynamic hues add a fresh dimension to these iconic frames, creating a perfect harmony between innovative design and eye-catching color. Whether it’s the award-winning Thor or the fan-favorite Blaze, this collection exemplifies the artistry and craftsmanship that define modern eyewear.

K-Lite™ is a proprietary acrylic material introduced by Kirk & Kirk, stemming from Karen Kirk’s artistic inspiration, influenced by the vibrant glass pieces of the 1960s and 70s. This creative world plays with the interplay of light and shadows, giving objects a transformative quality. K-Lite™ captures that essence, with frames that allow light to filter through, while distinct colorways are crafted to complement a variety of skin tones, showcasing the brand's signature style. More than just visually striking, K-Lite™ is engineered for comfort, being around 70% lighter than traditional acetate. The 10mm frames are designed to feel virtually weightless, offering a barely-there sensation on the face.

K-Lite™ symbolizes the next evolution in eyewear, seamlessly blending cutting-edge innovation with the timeless craftsmanship passed down through generations of skilled artisans. Each frame is a testament to Kirk & Kirk’s commitment to quality, where no detail is overlooked. K-Lite™ is painstakingly crafted from premium sheets of acrylic, then carefully hand-finished in the brand's specialized factories in France and Italy. This meticulous process combines the precision of modern technology with the delicate artistry of handwork, ensuring that every pair of frames not only meets but exceeds the highest optical standards. The result is eyewear that offers exceptional durability, comfort, and a striking aesthetic - bringing together the best of both worlds: innovative design and traditional craftsmanship.
