Lead Designers
Prize(s)Gold in Other Products Designs / Other Products designs
Entry Description

Perfectly round complete with protective side-shields, JIRO was inspired by classic welding goggles. This is enhanced sun protection in a refined steampunk aesthetic. MYKITA MYLON frames blur the border between fashion and sports. State-of-the-art design coupled with a material that boasts individual adjustability, low weight and extreme durability. The evolution of the MYKITA MYLON frames began with a new production process: Selective Laser Sintering enables the creation of objects in every possible geometrical configuration. Layer by layer a super-fine polyamide powder is turned via CO2 laser sintering into three-dimensional objects that are fed in beforehand in data form. The complex, patented process in which the raw surface of the material is prepared and rendered wearable in a series of stages is giving the frames a unique visual and tactile appeal. JIRO comes with the next generation MYKITA hinge system featuring the smallest functional carbon fibre part currently known.
