001

001

Description

001 are very light and comfortable spectacle frames, which are 3D printed as one single part. The full potential of laser sintering and the technical properties of nylon can be realised through the innovative design. 001 has neither conventional hinges nor screws. A flexible material taper between front and temples builds a flexible “hinge”, which moreover has an integrated snap lock. With an additional finishing 001 is a sophisticated, durable and classical everyday companion.


Statement of the jury

The 001 sunglasses are very special indeed – produced as a a single piece – frame, side pieces and all – via 3D printing. The mechanical issue of connecting the frame to the side pieces is dealt with brilliantly here, and the 001 sunglasses do not bear any visual or tactile indications of how they are made, which is a testament to the development and design work that went into this product. A pair of intelligently designed, contemporary sunglasses that are also light and comfortable to wear.
