The design of the Roku was formed in the crosscurrents of Japanese and American influences across architecture, fashion, and culture, inspired by vintage eyewear, Ivy League preppy styles adopted by 60s Tokyo hipsters, and the detailing and construction of traditional Japanese and California modernist homes.
The frame's unique titanium and acetate construction includes distinctive vintage-inspired ornamental patterns along the bridge and endpieces, as well as exposed coil temples designed for added flexibility. Marrying a unique double eyewire construction with precious metal, it features specially tooled nose pads filled with epoxy for a smoother finish and better fit.
