Before there was a collection, there was Lucentis.

Before form, there was darkness—and within it, the decision to create light.

Shomei was founded on a simple but enduring truth: light does not exist without contrast. It is shaped by shadow, defined by absence, and made meaningful only when it emerges from what is unseen. Lucentis is the first expression of this philosophy—the moment light chooses to exist.

The Meaning of the Name

Lucentis speaks to clarity, to illumination with purpose. It is not light that overwhelms, but light that guides. In the language of Shomei, illumination is an act of focus—of remembering what matters when the world grows indistinct.

To wear Lucentis is to carry a quiet affirmation: that even in darkness, light can be summoned—not passively, but deliberately.

A Form Shaped by Stillness

The shape of Lucentis is restrained, balanced, and intentional. Its geometry avoids excess, allowing meaning to take precedence over ornamentation. The piece rests close to the wearer, designed to feel personal rather than performative.

This compact form reflects Shomei’s belief that power does not require scale. Focus sharpens when it is contained. Meaning deepens when it is held close.

Lucentis does not demand attention—it invites reflection.

How Light Escapes

At its core, Lucentis is defined by how it releases light.

Rather than projecting illumination outward in a single direction, Lucentis allows light to escape from both the top and the bottom of the piece. This vertical flow creates depth, presence, and a sense of continuity—light moving through form, rather than sitting upon it.

From the top, the glow rises softly, forming a subtle aura that feels aspirational—light reaching upward. From the bottom, the illumination settles downward, grounding the piece and the wearer alike. Together, these opposing paths create a full, immersive effect: light in balance, light in motion.

This is not accidental. Shomei believes light should feel alive—responsive, intentional, and aware of the space it inhabits.

Light as Focus. Light as Remembrance.

Lucentis was designed to be worn during moments that matter.

Its illumination serves as a focal point—a visual reminder to return inward. For some, it represents remembrance: of a person, a promise, or a turning point. For others, it is a symbol of alignment, a quiet reassurance carried through the day.

Shomei does not assign meaning to the light. The wearer does.In this way, Lucentis becomes personal. Its glow is constant, but its significance evolves with the one who wears it.

The Beginning of Shomei

As the first line of Shomei, Lucentis establishes the foundation of everything that follows. It defines a design language rooted in intention, a philosophy anchored in contrast, and a belief that light is most powerful when it is chosen.

Lucentis is not about brightness.
It is about emergence.

From darkness, light is born.
From focus, meaning endures.
