Achse

These glasses were created with an emphasis on the hinge,

design that allows for simple assembly.

I was trying to figure out if I could design a hinge that would reduce the need for the amount of small parts starting with the screws, hinges, L parts, etc.

​

There are many clever hinges that use technology in a wonderful way. I wanted to create something iconic that would be recognized with sight and also allow for simple use on functional aspects.

​

My first thought was about a human joint structure.

As time went by, the shape evolved to ensure the functionality of the hinge.
