Title of Design: “Note”
Award: Champion of the Open Group and The Creativity Award
Design Concept:
We are afraid of being forgetful, so we try different ways to remember them.
Sometimes we use clips.
Sometimes we use nails.
Sometimes we use “Post-it”.
They help reminding us of different things.
Gradually, writing a “Post-it” has subtly become part of our daily lives.
And there are different designs for clips and “Post-it”.
“Note” is designed to connect and show us the actions in relation to recording things.
We hope to build up a new channel of communication through the frames,
Creating a different atmosphere and delivering messages.

When you wave your hands, your facial appearance is changed. This is the magical skill of Chinese tradition "Bian-Lian". It is how "MASK" comes along.
In the metropolis, people tend to bring many things along when they go out. It is not easy to keep your image when you wish to take care of the things and to take off or wear your eyeglasses simultaneously.
With this innovation, you may master the glasses single-handedly with ease of control, no matter to wear or put it away, and at the same time keep your style of vision. There is no need to worry about spoiling your image.

The concept of "go ahead" is to give a feeling of breaking the deadlock & making a fresh start.
The temples are specially made from surface fabric material of "CURL". The frame can easily stick to the hair and does not crush the hairstyle. The paste-on temples look like hair ornaments. All the parts can be reassembled by the wearer. Change of styles is so easy. The fashion trend is started by you.

Clothing has always been an essential component in the fashion trend. The varieties of fabrics bring us many possibilities. Different fabric materials, colours, cutting & folding methods could make a piece of featureless cloth become an interesting fashion accessory, as in a piece of headscarf.
Eyewear is one of the fashion products that always give us surprise when put on different faces. However, size and material restrictions has limited eyewear's potential as fashion accessory. I wish to explore the possibility of designing a frame with a headscarf in hope of bringing eyewear closer to fashion.
Created in 1994, Silmo d'Or is one of the top annual event that rewards innovation, creativity and inventive spirit in the optical and eyewear industry.
We are pleased to annouce the opening of the brand new showroom in Milan, Italy.

Title of design: Tape
Designer: Ms Bobo Lai
The concept of "Tape" is derived from the measuring tape.
The structure of the accessories on both sides of the lenses works just like a measuring tape, extending or contracting to fit each individual.

Rings, Ear-rings, necklace, hairclips, with many different styles, all can be changed in accordance of different circumstances and different trends. In the case of sunglasses, their outlook and shapes are always limited by their functional feasibility.
People like putting their glasses on their head as accessories. However, as mentioned, their outlook is limited. I design this sunglass as a hairclip. It's not only able to change their functional feasibility, but also could extend their decorative space of sunglasses.
