The inspiration for this collection comes from the rich history of glass craftsmanship in Anatolian civilizations. Glass, originally a liquid and translucent material, has been transformed into glasses and sunglasses in a modern context. The goal of the Jelly Eye Collection is to create wearable and useful designs that are also sculptural and innovative.
The Jelly Eye Collection stands out with its use of enhanced glass technology as the main material for the construction of the frames. The glass is transparent and translucent, allowing for a unique and eye-catching appearance. The frames can be produced in different shapes and sizes, resulting in truly one-of-a-kind designs.
The technical specifications of the Jelly Eye Collection include a width of 15 cm, length of 14 cm, and height of 6 cm, although dimensions may vary. These sunglasses not only provide protection from the sun but also add personality and charm to the wearer.
The design process for the Jelly Eye Collection involved extensive research on the optimal fit and functionality of glasses. Factors such as optical correction, inclination on the face, length of the temples, frontal opening, and bridge above the nose were carefully considered and calculated by the designer.
One of the main challenges in creating this collection was the need to project an object that would be used for the 3D production of glass forms, requiring knowledge of optics and the distribution of weight on the face. However, through creative problem-solving and technical expertise, the designer was able to overcome these challenges and bring the Jelly Eye Collection to life.
The Jelly Eye Collection is a testament to the beauty and versatility of glass as a material. These glasses, made entirely of glass, feature extraordinary designs that are both minimal and sculptural. With their unique aesthetic and wearable artistry, the Jelly Eye Collection adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any outfit.
This exceptional design has been recognized with the Bronze A' Design Award in the Jewelry, Eyewear, and Watch Design category in 2017. This award is bestowed upon designs that demonstrate outstanding creativity and ingenuity, incorporating best practices in art, science, design, and technology. The Jelly Eye Collection exemplifies strong technical and creative skills and contributes to the improvement of quality of life, making it a worthy recipient of this prestigious accolade.
