‘Kuboraum,’ brings out you more.
Eyes Optometrists also features a really unique eyewear brand called Kuboraum. They approach glasses in a very interesting way, almost seeing them as masks that help express your personality and emphasise your individual character – it’s about how the eyewear makes you feel and how you present yourself to the world. They have a distinct aesthetic, and their frames really make a statement.
Kuboraum frames are designed so you can feel comfortable expressing different sides of yourself and looking at the world through your own unique perspective. The idea is that when you put on a Kuboraum, it doesn’t shout ‘Kuboraum,’ it actually brings out you more.
They’re really interested in this idea of identity and how we present ourselves. Kuboraum uses the concept of a ‘mask’ as a way to explore that. They believe that choosing eyewear that feels like a mask can actually help you see yourself differently and embrace your individuality, especially in a world that sometimes feels like it pushes everyone to be the same.
What’s also really interesting is their background. Kuboraum was founded in Berlin, in a former post office right on the old border between East and West. That space, which started as an art gallery, became the creative hub for the brand. Even now, their studio and flagship store are there, and it’s where they develop everything – from the designs to their whole brand image. It’s all overseen by an artist and a brand director who’s an anthropologist, which gives you a sense of their unique perspective!

For individuals who value quality, design and something a little special.
Eyes Optometrists is now offering a really interesting and exclusive eyewear brand called Movitra. What makes them stand out, is their focus on how you actually use your glasses. They combine beautiful Italian design with some genuinely clever technology designed to protect your lenses and make life easier. Because they produce a limited number of each style, when you find a Movitra frame you like, it’s worth considering it seriously.
A little more detail …
It seems the people behind this brand were truly thinking about the everyday experience of wearing glasses. They recognised the common frustrations – accidentally bumping them in your bag, the inevitable lens scratches – and decided to engineer a solution.
Their key innovation is a unique hinge system. The sides of the glasses close in a specific way that shields the lenses. The movement is fluid, and it significantly reduces the chances of those annoying scratches. Plus, this design makes them very practical for carrying in your pocket without worry.
Beyond the practicality, Movitra embodies Italian design excellence. You can see the attention to detail and the quality of the materials used. These frames are crafted to be durable and long-lasting.
What’s particularly noteworthy is their approach to production. Movitra creates a limited quantity of each frame design. This means you’re getting something quite special and a bit exclusive when you choose them – you won’t see them everywhere. It reflects a commitment to quality and unique design over mass production.
For Eyes Optometrists, partnering with Movitra allows us to offer you something truly distinctive – eyewear that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also intelligently designed for real life. It’s for individuals who value quality, innovative design, and appreciate owning something that isn’t widely available.
