The main concept is to make prescription glasses with interchangeable frames. There are many eyeglasses with interchangeable lenses, but not vice versa. The idea stems from my recent passion for watches. Each watch, in its characteristics, matches best with an outfit, a place, an occasion. The same goes for a dress, jewellery, shoes. So why do people generally only have one pair of eyeglasses?
My project does not aim to answer this question, but rather to provide everyone with the possibility of wearing glasses suitable for every context, situation, state of mind with the same simplicity and ease with which one changes earrings, tie, watch.
The project therefore proposes a 'basic' frame onto which, one at a time, infinite possibilities of 'masks' are mounted to customise the spectacle.
