THE NEED FOR BEAUTY AND ESSENTIALITY.

BRAND HISTORY


Zen philosophy states that 75% of what we own or desire does not contribute to our happiness.

We could live with the remaining 25%, as long as our natural needs are satisfied.

Consumerism, overflowing of fashion and excessive logo ostentation resulted in people being  subjugated to material desires and therefore being unable to appreciate and evaluate product quality.

Thanks to a thirty-year experience and an in-depth technical knowledge, Danshari was able to create fine and elegant frames, of very high quality, which reconciles us with our need for beauty and timelessness.

Danshari firmly believes that fine high-quality frames are worth way more than fashion-oriented frames, as the latter has limited durability, being as evanescent as fashion itself.
Danshari Chinese Logo

Metaphorically speaking Danshari can be compared to a bowl of rice, which is fundamental in Japanese cuisine because of its delicate flavour that goes well with any other food.

Fashion products instead can be instead compared to goose liver paste, which tends to tire due to its very intense flavour.

DANSHARI LOGO

SIMPLE BUT CREATIVE.

The red dot, honouring the Japanese national flag, is inserted under the tip varnish and is brought out by the lamination process.

Besides being a tribute to the Japanese national flag, the red dot is also a metaphorical symbol of the “umeboshi” plum, which in Japan is typically served on top of white rice.

about us red R

The red dot is positioned on the upper part of the “R”, serving as a registration symbol.

The chosen font evokes ancient roman engravings, a choice made to convey at the same time minimalism and power.

Material & Craftsmanship

ACETATE

Cellulose acetate is a plant-based plastic made from cotton and wood pulp, totally hypoallergenic. It is known for being lightweight yet strong, and for holding frame alignments well. It offers wide range of color selection and possibilities.

Titanium &
Beta Titanium

Titanium is extremely lightweight yet durable and hypoallergenic making it the ideal choice for people with sensitive skin. It has high corrosive resistance.

Beta Titanium is a high strength and excellent elastic titanium alloy that reacts to little force and bounces to its original shape. It boasts special flex and memory function properties that can keep the contour shape while offering better wearing comfort. It is strong, durable, lightweight, hypoallergenic and anticorrosive.

EXTRAORDINARY

temple lamination

The sophisticated acetate temple with the flexible beta-titanium wire core can be considered the soul of Danshari.

It is a masterpiece, achieved by combining superlative craftsmanship, extraordinary design, and rich material.

To create this extraordinary lamination, Japanese craftsmen start from a hard mold to well place beta titanium wire cores between Japanese acetates.
Then they apply traditional lamination process, facilitating the temple contour with a profile modeling machine.
