Labor | Eyewear as an Everyday Tool

Labor was founded in 2019 in Seoul, South Korea. Its founder, JM Song, who has worked in media art and spatial design, conceived the brand with eyeglasses as “tools” for everyday life.

The thickness of the acetate, the diagonally beveled surfaces, and the curves flowing from the front to the temples. In the minimalist frames, these contours and finishes stand out. The model names, such as ARCHITECT and BARBER, pay tribute to people with diverse professions.
