A series of concepts developed for a commissioned proposal for an international art and design project in Paris.

The brief explored the idea of making the impossible possible through creativity, with a focus on offering a fresh perspective on iconic eyewear.

I developed several concepts that approached the glasses as more than a functional object — exploring their relationship to jewellery, ornamentation, identity and personal expression.

The proposal was ultimately not selected for production, but the project provided an opportunity to develop a number of ideas around the transformation of eyewear into a sculptural and expressive object.

The metal frame has a shape that enhances the expression of your eyelashes.

This style pushes the boundories of the next generation, into a futuristic mood.

Inspired by eyelash extensions, this concept explores how eyewear can coexist with contemporary beauty rituals. The proposal rethinks the relationship between lashes and frames, allowing both to become part of a single aesthetic
