Craftsmanship Focused on Detail Meets the LEXUS Worldview


The "MN COLLECTION" was created to enhance the lifestyle of discerning individuals who appreciate cars in both their business and private lives. Future collaborations are planned with manufacturers possessing unique, high-level skills and distinct worldviews.

The first "MN COLLECTION" release features driving glasses developed in partnership with eyewear brand FACTORY900. FACTORY900 is an eyewear brand from the Fukui Prefecture's Sabae region, a renowned eyewear production area, where frames have been consistently handcrafted by artisans for 80 years. These driving items represent a fusion of meticulous craftsmanship and the LEXUS worldview.

The flagship model, "LXF-1," is handcrafted to ensure a precise fit, with a design that contours to the helmet when worn, preventing slippage. The lenses are designed independently from the frame, a unique technique by FACTORY900 artisans, to maintain clear vision without compromising the frame's shape.

The other model, "LXF-2," is a plastic version. While inheriting the metal design philosophy, it offers a more casual look. The lens structure, appearing to float, remains, with the distinctive shape boldly reinterpreted to create a sculptural design.

The release date is December 25th (Tuesday). They will be available at the FACTORY900 direct store, "FACTORY900 TOKYO BASE," in Jingumae. Currently, the products are on display at INTERSECT BY LEXUS - TOKYO and LEXUS MEETS...
