jurgen mayer h. architects: sunglasses for IC! berlin

berlin-based firm jurgen mayer h. architects have designed a special collection of sunglasses for IC! berlin.
while beauty and character results from a refined balance of imperfections and minor differences between
both sides of a face, eyewear often ignores these conditions in favor of standardized symmetrical glasses.
to address this, jurgen mayer h. has designed a series of asymmetric glasses which shift and change
from one side of the frame to the other, a subtle answer to the asymmetry of human faces.
the five different designs: boytoy, larifari, okidoki, remmidemmi and tictoc offer personality and create
a new dynamic look for wearers. each pair of glasses can be produced in a personal customization process
to adjust to each individual face. scanning, measuring and decoding a face will give coordinates to mutate and deform a given proto-frame to the individual asymmetries, either to enhance or rebalance the composition of the face.
