Underwater distortion

technical description

Eyewear with peaceful colours − turquoise, blue, light blue, silver and even transparent − sitting on the face by means of a metal structure connected to a rubber band that runs behind the head. Plexiglass front frame deconstructed into an overlay of laser-cut semicircles, held together by rivets.

concept

A collection inspired by being underwater and the distorted visual perception in this whole new world not intended for humans. Senses that do not work in the same way as on land, without oxygen it is impossible to breathe and and without a mask impossible to see. To visit this quasi-magical realm we must be equipped with the right tools and clothes so we able to stay underwater for extended periods of time. An eyewear collection designed for an imaginary underwater tribe, living and wandering through the unknown underwater plains. It answers the question "If a mythical tribe existed, what would they wear and how would they view their world?”.
