50 Glasses
For my "50 Glasses" project, the main idea was to focus on the basic function of glasses: helping people see through two lenses. I explored this by playing around with the structure of glasses, keeping the two lenses but experimenting with different shapes, styles, and designs while still making sure they look like glasses.
Each sketch is a unique take on the concept of glasses—some are quirky, others more abstract—but all of them keep the core idea intact: two lenses for vision. I wanted to show how something as everyday as glasses can be transformed in so many creative ways without losing its purpose.
Throughout the process, I tried different approaches, adding fun details, stretching the shapes, and experimenting with how the frames and lenses could look. Even with all the changes, they’re still recognizable as glasses, which shows just how flexible a simple object like this can be. It was a fun way to push the boundaries of design while still focusing on the basic function: seeing through them.
For the other 45 sketches, I focused on designing glasses with different shapes, styles, and gimmicks, but all serving the same function: wearable glasses that you can see through. Some designs leaned more into fashion, while others could be imagined as VR or AR glasses. I played with lines, forms, and colors to create a wide variety of looks. Even with all the experimentation, the core idea stayed the same: glasses are both functional and a form of personal expression.
For the last five sketches, I used physical objects to represent the form of glasses, including a perfume container, a Vitamin C tablet, an earring, a box cover, and even my hands. This was a way to stretch the idea of what glasses can be, playing with everyday items to represent the form while still hinting at their original purpose.
“Form follows function”
Understanding Purpose: It's important to know the core purpose of an object. For glasses, it’s all about vision—helping people see clearly through them while being wearable.
Form and Function: I learned how to creatively explore different forms while keeping the functionality intact. No matter how abstract or unique the design gets, the object still needs to serve its purpose.
Creativity in Design: This exercise pushed me to think outside the box, experimenting with shapes, materials, and styles. It reinforced the idea that form follows function but can still be fun and expressive.
