Sebastien Brusset · CLIENT: SBrusset Artist & Designer
Jam Vision X Sbrusset is a pair of sunglasses that combines art and design. The organic volumes of the front are 3D printed, which allows a minimal structure. The temples are laser cut from recycled stainless steel and plated in rose gold. A patented screwless magnetic hinge joins the parts and was tested through 100,000 folding cycles. The same hinge allows the temples to be removed and exchanged, even by the wearer. Additive manufacturing and a made on demand program limit waste during the whole life cycle of the product.

- Unique Properties
- Art and design mixed together into a pair of sunglasses. Organic volumes take benefit of 3D printing tech, to reach minimalistic structure, while technically wise, everything is made to be reliable, simple, and fully sustainable. Thanks to patented screwless magnetic hinge, 100% recycled stainless steel temples, additive manufacturing and made on demand program, we ensure to limit the waste as much as possible, during the whole cycle of the product.

- Design Challenge
- The challenge was to create with a very restricted toolkit (to reach a really sustainable product), a product that precisely looks like a product obtained without any constraints.
- Project Duration
- This project was made in 6 months, between Lyon in France, and Dubai. Drawings phases were made in Dubai, inspired by the energy there. The R&D was made in Lyon, with all the machines.
- Operation Flow
- The magnetic patented hinges was tested 100.000 folding with keeping the same performance. Impossible to loose the axis, so the functions is highly reliable. Could also permit an easy temple removal for after sale service or temple exchange, even by the consumer.
- Research
- The design research started with the technical specifications. The toolkit construction (reduced to the max) were the starting point, directly in 3D, as fixed points... And then, free creativity, to create path that rely technical points, to free lines.
- Inspiration
- The inspiration flow comes to reach the frontier between art and design, between pure creation and design to specs project. The sunglasses takes direct inspiration from my personal art project, "Breath Of Life", that illustrates all the choices and path we are making during our life and that defines human we are. This inspiration mix with a strong specifications needs in order to offer a fully sustainable eyewear. In the end, an eco-responsible product that has much more to tell...
