Factory 900 eyewear is a Japanese brand renowned for its innovative, three-dimensional, and avant-garde designs that push the boundaries of traditional acetate frame manufacturing. 

Brand Overview

FACTORY900 was launched in 2000 by AOYAMA Optical, a small, family-owned factory in Fukui, Japan, a region known for producing 95% of "made in Japan" eyewear frames. The "900" in the name comes from the government-assigned number for their factory.

The brand's core concept is "The Futures Eyewear," and it is globally recognized for its unique, sculptural shapes and use of advanced plastic-forming techniques. The brand has won multiple international awards, including the prestigious "Silmo d'Or" of Paris twice.
