The Design

About Blooming Складаныя Акуляры

Дызайн акуляраў Sonja быў натхнёны квітнеючымі кветкамі і раннімі рамкамі для відовішчаў. Спалучаючы арганічныя формы прыроды з функцыянальнымі элементамі ачкоў для ачкоў, дызайнер распрацаваў канвертоўны элемент, якім можна лёгка кіраваць, даючы некалькі розных выглядаў. Прадукт таксама быў распрацаваны з магчымасцю складання практычна, займаючы як мага менш месца ў сумцы. Лінзы вырабляюцца з плексігласа з лазерным выразам з кветкавымі прынтамі архідэі, а рамы вырабляюцца ўручную з выкарыстаннем лакіраванага пазалотавага латуні 18k.

Unique Properties
The main focus of this conceptual piece is in it's ability to be changed at any point without an extensive effort of the wearer. This function of multiple looks alongside the folding system is what makes these accessories stand out. Once folded, the eyewear becomes compact which makes it really easy to carry around.
Dimensions & Packaging
Fully opened eyewear dimensions 150 mm x 120 mm x 160 mm
Fully closed eyewear dimensions 100 mm x 85 mm x 40 mm

Production Technology
The whole collection is made by hand out of 18k gold plated brass alongside the multiple laser cut plexiglass with flower prints.
Design Challenge
The biggest challenge was the ergonomic part of the eyewear's frames. It was very difficult to create the frames foldable and at the same time to achieve one continues flowing line that forms the final shape (both folded and opened).
Research
This project demanded an extensive investigation of the historical development of spectacle frames (visually and technically), in order to achieve a modern solution with a clear influence of the first types of frames.
Inspiration
Inspiration comes from growth and metamorphosis of all beings. Blooming flowers are used as symbols of change and development and are presented as movable petals.
I intended to create multi purpose items, that can adapt to specific needs of the wearer by personal changes throughout the day.
Project Duration
The whole project developement lasted around 3 months. It started in January 2016 and was finished in April 2016 in Belgrade. This item is just one of the whole Blooming collection of jewellery and eyewear.
The whole collection was exhibited in Porte de Versailles in Paris during The International Jewellery Show Bijorhca Paris in September 2016.
Operation Flow
All the petals are connected to the metal frame with rivets. This system makes the change of the position of petals really easy. The petals can be pushed around the rivet in full circle. This system makes many different looks possible just by overlapping the petal shapes in a different way or positioning the petals differently in relation to the face.
The frame itself is also connected with rivets, so the closing system works in a similar manner as the petals.
