Beyond Glasses

“Beyond Glasses” is an exploration of how far functional eyewear can be reduced—structurally, materially and aesthetically. The prototype integrates frame and temple into a single bent component, eliminating traditional hinges and excess fasteners. With only one custom-fitted lens and minimal assembly steps, the design reduces production complexity while improving comfort and safety. The joint is formed from the material itself, joined by a single rivet placed on the outer surface to prevent injury.
