Honoured to share that Tanaka Eyewear has been longlisted for the Dezeen Awards 2025 in sustainability.

This is my third time to reach the longlist, and while I am grateful for the recognition, my hope is to advance further this year.

Out of more than 4,300 entries from 89 countries, our project stands among 80 selected in sustainability. Recognition at this level, before our official launch, gives me strength to keep pushing the work forward.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey.

Great news! I’m honoured to have won Sustainable Eyewear of the Year and New Designer of the Year at the Love Eyewear Awards 2025. This recognition is a significant milestone, giving me even more confidence as I finalise the details ahead of the launch.

Tanaka Eyewear is built on innovation, craftsmanship, and an obsessive attention to detail. By using compressed paper composite, I’ve created something truly unique—pushing the boundaries of material innovation while extending eyewear longevity to twice or more that of traditional frames.

If you share these values, keep an eye on Tanaka Eyewear—there’s much more to come.

2024 is almost over! It wasn’t the most small business-friendly year, but I’m so proud to have achieved a dream three years in the making—designing and handcrafting the first pair of glasses for myself! Finally I can see things now😅

Next year, it’s all about creating them for YOU. Big things are coming, and I can’t wait to share what’s next.

Thank you for sticking with me and being part of this journey.

See you all in 2025 with fresh vision!
