Era & Relevance
Designed by Benjamin Montoya, a Los Angeles–based eyewear designer, this frame comes from the rise of the modern independent eyewear movement — a time when designers maintained close control over proportion, materials, and production.
The B. Ray reflects a design philosophy centered on restraint, balance, and longevity rather than trend cycles. Its silhouette remains relevant today because it was never chasing a moment — it was designed to last.
Unworn examples with original polarized lenses are increasingly difficult to find, making this a standout piece from an important period in independent eyewear design.
Design Philosophy
Great eyewear doesn’t announce itself.
It earns its place through how it wears, how it lasts,
and how little it needs to explain.
