K A T A   In Japanese, "Kata" signifies the concepts of shape and form. Kata eyewear sculpts these fundamental elements of design to create collections that blur the boundaries of accessory and art.

KATA is eyewear in its most essential form. With an integral focus on utilizing groundbreaking technology in elegant ways, Kata defines modernity.


Blake Kuwahara, a fourth-generation Japanese-American is the brand's designer. He is inspired by natural forms,
including bambood stone, and the fluidity of the human body. Handcrafted of the finest materials, Kata eyeglasses are both fashion accessories and art.

Catherine Zeta-Jones, Halle Berry, Will Smith, Val Kilmer, and other style icons appreciate Kata's understated elegance.
 All of the collections from KATA Eyewear are based on simple shapes and forms from our everyday surroundings," says Kuwahara.

"Everything has its aesthetic beauty. that has been the underlying theme of my collections so far - taking ordinary shapes and forms, whether it's a seashell or an architectural element, and putting them into a totally different context such as eyewear." states Blake Kuwahara.
