About The No. 2 Sonnenbrille
Die No. 2 ist eine Sonnenbrille, die auf Langlebigkeit und Komfort ausgelegt ist. Der Rahmen besteht aus 0,5 mm ultradünnem japanischem Edelstahl mit Formgedächtnis und wird durch Biegen und Falten geformt – ohne Schweißnähte oder Schrauben. Ein zum Patent angemeldetes schraubenloses Verriegelungsscharnier ersetzt herkömmliche Schrauben und Walzenscharniere, sodass sich Scharniere nicht lockern und Schrauben nicht herausfallen können. Der Rahmen wiegt 18 Gramm. Die Polycarbonatgläser sind stoßfest und blockieren ultraviolettes Licht. Nasenpads und Bügelenden aus medizinischem Silikon sind hypoallergen.

Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) finishing is anti-scratch and hypoallergenic, and the process is clean and dry with no hazardous materials involved.
Polycarbonate lenses with anti-reflective coating are impact-resistant, shatter-proof, and provide 100% UV protection.
Medical-grade silicone nose pads and temple tips are hypoallergenic and offer the best comfort and grip. - Design Challenge
- To achieve the best quality product, we spend a lot of time sourcing manufacturers and suppliers. There were a lot of trials and errors during the product development, but we were able to finalize the design and work with the best manufacturers and suppliers.
- Research
- We conducted intensive research, surveys, and interviews to understand the eyewear market, user behaviors, and pain points of wearing glasses. The data shows most people experience eyewear discomfort and broken glasses. Our goal is to solve people/s eyewear problems without sacrificing style. We sourced various manufacturers and experimented with different materials, designs, and prototypes to ensure the top quality product.
- Inspiration
- People struggle with discomfort, heaviness of the frames, or constant repairs and take the unpleasant eyewear experiences for granted. That's because most eyewear in the market only focuses on the style rather than comfort and user experience into eyewear design consideration. THE NO. 2 EYEWEAR challenges the status quo by innovating how eyewear is designed, made, constructed to solve the eyewear problems that people continually experience.
- Project Duration
- Designed in New York, USA. Handmade in Taiwan. Duration: January - December 2020.
- Operation Flow
- The No. 2 redesigns every step of eyewear experience from the moment you touch the sunglasses, the feel the quality and craftsmanship, the smooth motion when opening the temples/arms, the comfort and lightness when wearing the frame, and to the moment you take off the sunglasses you don't need to worry they got accidentally sit, bend, or stepped on.
