Romano Rozay 18k rose and gold eyewear is handcrafted in the USA using traditional goldsmithing techniques. The design integrates jewelry making processes with structural engineering to define geometry aligned with facial structure an provide stability in wear. Each component is individually shaped, assembled, and finished by hand. The overall system is defined by material behavior, fabrication precision and structural performance.
Viage11 is a modular eyewear system that offers eleven styles from one pair of glasses. The temples are interchangeable, in classic and cable versions, and a set of clip-on accents can be fitted over the base frame without tools. The hinge is cut and folded from a single sheet of spring steel, so no screws, rivets or soldering are required. Base frames are made from 0.7 mm stainless steel sheets, while the accents use stainless steel, wood and acetate. Each frame weighs under 13 grams. The aim is to let one pair replace a wider collection.
Lyra is a pair of hearing aid glasses that joins hearing support with everyday eyewear. A six microphone array captures sound from a selected direction and reduces background noise. A rotatable speaker sits close to the ear canal and provides up to 40 decibels of gain for clearer speech. Adaptive noise reduction and feedback control help in complex sound environments. Lenses can be made for myopia, presbyopia or progressive correction. The intent is to give hearing support a non medical appearance suited to daily use.
Popticals is a collection of collapsible sunglasses designed for active use. The frames contain a patented micro rail system that lets the lenses slide parallel to each other, so the sunglasses fold into a compact size for storage. The lenses are made of NYDEF nylon and offer clarity, impact resistance and protection from ultraviolet light. The frames are made of Grilamid TR90 for flexibility and comfort. Stainless steel pins and a magnet hold the two halves together in a secure position during wear.
Carbon Craft is an exceptionally durable and reliable product. The eyewear frame is produced using 3D FDM printing combined with manual surface polishing. This design embraces a classic style by completely eliminating hinges and metal framing. No screws are used. The components can be easily assembled and replaced. It applies a unique shaping technique from carbon technology, enhancing the material's structural integrity and load-bearing capacity.
These eyewear are inspired by Iranian motifs and the purpose of its design is a gift for those who look at the world with only one eye. Many of them have lost it during their lives in line with their dreams, ideologies, freedom of humanity, standing against oppression, etc., and these beautiful patterns putted on them so that they know their true beauty. In fact, the main inspiration were these people. In terms of production technology, this work has a simple structure that can be made easily only with modern technology, and golden metal and brown glass are used in it.
Jam Vision X Sbrusset is a pair of sunglasses that combines art and design. The organic volumes of the front are 3D printed, which allows a minimal structure. The temples are laser cut from recycled stainless steel and plated in rose gold. A patented screwless magnetic hinge joins the parts and was tested through 100,000 folding cycles. The same hinge allows the temples to be removed and exchanged, even by the wearer. Additive manufacturing and a made on demand program limit waste during the whole life cycle of the product.
