About KUBORAUM

KUBORAUM calls every frame a mask and names each one with a letter and a number: MASK P8 on the brand’s own site, Maske P8 in our listings, Maske being German for mask. Every KUBORAUM frame here is on sale, 25% off or more, and most are single pieces, so when one sells it is gone. The brand says all its masks are dreamed in Berlin and handmade in Italy, and calls them “synonymous with accentuation, protection and shelter”. Sale frames are final sale.

The two people behind it met in Berlin in 2009, at a vernissage in a friend’s gallery: Livio Graziottin, an artist, sculptor and designer, and Sergio Eusebi, an anthropologist and the brand director. Their first collection, of five designs, came in 2011. The project started in February 2012 in the rooms of a former post office on the border between East and West Berlin, which today holds the studio, the showroom and the KUBORAUM flagship store. The brand likens its masks to “cubic rooms where we shelter ourselves”, and says that once a mask is on, it highlights the person wearing it rather than itself.

Choosing a KUBORAUM Maske

Most of the masks here are acetate, in colours from Black Matt and Havana to much brighter shades. The metal frames are fewer, and some of them are rimless: the lenses are drilled and held at the bridge and the hinges, so there is no rim around them. A few combine acetate and metal, a pairing the brand also makes as a line of its own. The shapes run from square, round and geometric to oval, rectangular, cat-eye and aviator. Eye sizes run from very small to wide; the “In stock now” panel and the eye-size filter show the current range, and the KUBORAUM fit guide explains what the letter, the number and the colour code mean. The brand splits its range into Optical Mask and Sun Mask. Optical masks ship as frames, free and insured within the US with a signature on delivery, for your own optician to glaze. Sun masks arrive with their lenses fitted.

Is every KUBORAUM frame here on sale?

Yes. Every KUBORAUM frame on this page is at least 25% off its earlier price, and some are more. The sale price is the price you pay. Sale frames are final sale under our returns policy. Most frames here are single pieces, so when one sells it is gone.

Why are KUBORAUM frames called Maske?

Maske is German for mask. KUBORAUM calls every frame a mask and writes the name in English on its own site, as in MASK P1. It calls its masks “synonymous with accentuation, protection and shelter” and likens them to “cubic rooms where we shelter ourselves” (kuboraum.com/project/). Our listings use the German word for every model: Maske P1, Maske F4, Maske K29, followed by the colour.

What do the letter and number in a KUBORAUM Maske name mean?

Together they name the model, and every colour of one model shares its shape and size. After the model comes a colour code, such as BM for Black Matt or HA for Havana; the brand writes its own as H40 GD for the MASK H40 in gold. Neither the letter nor the number is a size, so read the three numbers on each listing. The KUBORAUM fit guide at /collections/kuboraum-fit-guide explains them.

Which KUBORAUM frames suit a narrow face?

Start with eye size. Eye sizes run from very small to wide; the “In stock now” panel and the eye-size filter show the current range. Use the filter to see the smaller masks together, then check the bridge, since a small lens still needs a bridge that fits your nose. On any product page you can compare the frame with a pair you already own.

Where are KUBORAUM frames made?

KUBORAUM says all its masks are dreamed in Berlin and handmade in Italy (kuboraum.com/project/). The project started in February 2012 in a former post office on the border between East and West Berlin, where the brand has its studio, showroom and flagship store.

Can I get prescription lenses in KUBORAUM frames?

Yes, in the optical frames. They ship as a frame only, without prescription lenses. Your own optician fits lenses to your prescription. A thick acetate rim hides the edge of a strong lens well. Our lens guide explains the options and what to ask for. KUBORAUM sunglasses arrive with their sun lenses already fitted.

KUBORAUM at a glance

KUBORAUM began with two people who met in Berlin in 2009 at a vernissage: the artist and designer Livio Graziottin and the anthropologist Sergio Eusebi, now its brand director. The first collection came in 2011, and the project started in February 2012, in a former post office on the border between East and West Berlin.

The brand calls its frames masks, “like cubic rooms where we shelter ourselves”. Every mask is handmade in Italy: the brand describes the Italian artisanal tradition set in a Berlin-based creative environment.
