Committee's Special Prize by Johanna Grawunder

 
Titus Cezar Marin / ROMANIA
 
(As of May, 2005)
 
I am from Bucharest, Romania
I just graduated in product design and I am currently working on freelance projects.
 
 
The idea in the proposal was to make a more connected visual link between the lens and the arms of the sunglasses, almost like the lens would flow and become the arm. This way we would get not only a more fluid and unified shape but also the detail of the hinge would create an original overall design.
The target market would be a feminine audience with an interest in design and fashion, so I also tried to look for inspiration in some of the latest artistic or design trends, like the sculptures of Anish Kapur.
 
 
Lens: to be able to achieve the 3d geometry of the lens in one piece, plastic has to be used but with the recent breakthroughs in glass molding maybe that could be a higher end version to consider.
Arms: titanium was my first choice because of its strength and elasticity but other metals could be used too.
