Kirk & Kirk Centena Eyewear Collection

The Kirk & Kirk Centena Collection can be considered an inspiring and unique recognition of the family’s tradition in the field of optics. With strong references to decades of craftsmanship, the Centena Collection is a groundbreaking creation in the area of eyewear design as the first Collection hand-made with 10mm acrylic. While utilizing acrylic in such a manner is quite revolutionary it perfectly suits the theme of the collection and underlines the company’s desire to experiment with the material and the possibilities it offers. Acrylic models are really lightweight, and thanks to this, the frames look incredibly comfortable, and the users will not feel any discomfort during their wearing.

The Centena Collection boasts 12 different frame shapes and even more invigorating colors; thus, the customers get to choose according to their style and character. Even the bold Tiger color or the deep Royal – each of them speaks about the brand’s passion for unique style and contemporary look. The one which we found quite interesting is that all the frames in the collection are named after the members of the Kirk family and it continues the legacy of the company in the eyewear business. Made entirely by hand in a factory located in France, manufacturing each of the frames takes more than eighty steps which shows the commitment of the company to detail and quality. This sanding process which lends the frames that typical rough surface is usually done manually to give it a perfect finish throughout the frames. It is this level of detail that sets the Centena Collection apart and makes sure that every frame not only looks good but is made to the highest standards.

Kirk & Kirk has been adorning the look of contemporary eyewear with elegance and grace, and that’s why the Centena Collection is the perfect epitome of their excellence. Every frame in the collection is made in France and it takes more than eighty steps to produce a single frame due to the adherence to the best quality standard. Extensive production methods prove that Kirk & Kirk is serious about their frames and focuses on producing looks that will be long-lasting. Jason Kirk himself makes regular checks on the quality of the manufacture of each pair and this ensures that they are very well made as per his standard. The Centena Collection is unapologetically designed: it is understood to be a fashion item that is fashionable and elongated, and it elegantly combines the traditions of classic design and the tendencies of modern avant-garde. Every single frame is intentionally designed for its aesthetic and functional embodied purpose with a welcome embrace by a vast population of eyewear wearers, fashionable or otherwise.

Another advantage that can be mentioned is that when working with acrylic, Kirk & Kirk can play with colors that cannot be used when working with traditional materials such as acetate or metal. This freedom leads to thin and rather adventurous frames that seem to stand out of the crowd, providing a great sensation for those who desire a statement on fashion. As a new development of this popular line, the Centiles Collection continues the Centena series’ 10mm frame thickness but expands on it by offering new and original color options. These neat and bright colors intensify the emphasis on the representatives of the emotions of the frames, and, thus, offer even more choices for those people who aim to look as different as possible while choosing eyeglasses.
