Designs That Move Beyond Seasonal Trends

Unsuikyo Eyewear is a Hong Kong based eyewear brand guided by the principles of stillness, balance, and quiet strength. Drawing inspiration from nature, cultural symbolism, and a long standing craft tradition, the brand offers designs built on longevity and a vision that moves beyond seasonal trends. Although rooted in Hong Kong, Unsuikyo works closely with Japanese manufacturing expertise, bringing refined engineering together with a carefully considered aesthetic approach. The brand stands out for its ability to translate natural forms and historical references into contemporary eyewear through a clean and restrained design language. Nature inspired surface textures, precise metal detailing, and subtle references to traditional warrior attire are integrated into the designs without excess. Each collection reflects the values of patience, discipline, and harmony that sit at the core of Unsuikyo’s design philosophy. Inspired by the tranquil forest landscapes of the Shiratani Unsuikyo region, Unsuikyo Eyewear is handcrafted with the aim of deepening the connection between wearer and nature. Founded by eyewear designer Chan Ho Yin Brian, the brand is known for its award winning designs that reinterpret classic and vintage eyewear forms while incorporating natural materials such as sedimentary rock and wood. Unsuikyo’s aesthetic is not nostalgic, but positioned within a timeless framework. It brings together comfort, fit, and a distinctive way of seeing the world. Nature, however, is never treated as a purely visual reference.

Scion | Proportion, Weight & Tactile Balance
Within an industry driven by speed, novelty, and instant impact, Unsuikyo’s latest collection, Scion, consciously moves in the opposite direction. The collection draws inspiration from Jomonsugi, the ancient cedar that has stood for more than a thousand years in the mist covered forests of Yakushima Island in Japan. The strength of this tree comes not from forceful endurance, but from patience, adaptability, and an existence shaped over time. Scion carries the quiet strength of Jomonsugi into contemporary eyewear designs shaped by Japanese craftsmanship. Each piece is more than a design object. It stands as a refined reminder of the enduring qualities found in nature. Scion does not seek attention. It reveals itself over time. By translating the time resistant presence of Jomonsugi into modern eyewear, Unsuikyo offers a rare approach within today’s optical landscape. The collection places value on time, restraint, and inner strength. Scion’s recent recognition with the Japan Eyewear Award 2026, Grand Prix aligns seamlessly with the collection’s measured stance and confident character. In a fast moving world, Scion proposes a pause and invites the wearer into stillness. Within the Scion collection, the spirit of cedar is interpreted through form, texture, and experience. The collection reminds us that strength does not need to announce itself. It exists quietly through material choices, refined details, and meticulous engineering. Each frame is crafted in Japan and designed to create a brief moment of pause within everyday life. Scion does not aim to dominate the face. Instead, it places the wearer at the centre through proportion, weight, and tactile balance.
