【 Description of item 】

The hexagonal design is based on jazz rhythm patterns.

The original parts, produced with advanced technology, are layered with acetate colors inspired by record jackets .

The sophisticated tailoring results in the materials' individuality bringing out the best in each other, like a concert between first-class musicians .

-------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the fifth combination model equipped with the original T-spine part.

It has evolved into void, stratus, cumulus, cask, and bebop.

This time, it appears in a polygonal, hexagonal shape for the first time.

◎ Here's the point

Of particular note is the way the front end is made .

The previously released Cask has a similar construction, but the acetate on the front is created by cutting.

The shape is created by carving, which gives the surface a somewhat flat appearance.

It's smooth, it's clear, and the surfaces come out neatly and correctly .

It's unfortunate that my photography skills aren't good enough to capture the texture, but I would encourage everyone to see the real thing.

The aesthetic appearance achieved through cutting is particularly evident in the bridge area.

Most eyeglasses are designed with a bulging bridge, which leaves a large gap where it overlaps with the flat T-spine.

Not only are there concerns about strength, but unnecessary gaps also don't look good.

By cutting, we were able to minimize the gap, resulting in a much better affinity with the T-spine.

(The parts require extremely high precision and are very time-consuming to make, so they are very expensive to purchase...)

A word from designer Waki-san ...

"It's not a basic hexagonal front, but the corners have been softened to make it a polygonal shape that is easy to wear."

This makes sense when you think about it, and it certainly gives a gentle impression within the polygon genre.

As was the case with the round cask, it shows how amazing Wakita is at elevating what would normally be difficult to hit into something that can be hit with ease .

As we introduced in the email newsletter the other day,

Team Taylor's super music fanatic, Asao-chan, gives a thorough explanation of "BEBOP."

As an amateur, it's all a mystery to me, but it's a field that seems like it would really resonate with people who are interested.

Roughly speaking, it is a type of jazz called bebop.

Lately, bebop has been playing as background music in the office all the time.

[Behind the Scenes]


The motif is the cymbal legato (known as a ride pattern overseas) sound of jazz cymbals. In Japan, it is called "chinchikki" and one phrase is composed of three unequal sounds.

If you count all the corners of hexagonal glasses, there are 12 in total. If you divide these corners into groups of three, you can see a shape similar to a cymbal legato, as shown in the photo. The space between corners 1 and 2 is long, and the space between corners 2 and 3 is short. Because it is an unequal shape, rhythm is created.

That may have gotten a bit complicated, but that's why we named it BEBOP, a genre of JAZZ.

-----
Bebop is a form of jazz that is said to have been established in the 1940s. It is generally believed that the origins of modern jazz, which emerged after the demise of swing jazz, lie in this jazz style. It is also written as be-bop or be-bop in kana. * Wikipedia

How was it, Bebop?

This model has been designed with much more thought than you would imagine, given its catchy polygonal shape.

The frequently released color 03 Clear Turquoise Blue is a color similar to the color on the Blue Note album jacket.

The Clear Smoke Purple in 04 is also a mysterious color that catches my eye, and the Smoke in 05 is a versatile Taylor color that is well-known among those in the know.

The color variations are really strong.

We are looking forward to seeing the reaction at the exhibition. Please look forward to it.

【 notice 】

The brand will hold its first solo exhibition on the final day of the exhibition, Thursday, April 11th.

DJ Asao-chan will be at the venue and will be playing bebop and nostalgic tapes.

I would be happy if you could experience the world view.

No reservations are required and we will be waiting for you with drinks and snacks. Look forward to it.
