Eye + Fan Glasses
Eye + Fan Glasses
(Eyefan)
(Eyefan)
A playful fusion between vision (eye) and ventilation (fan), merging functionality with creativity.
A playful fusion between vision (eye) and ventilation (fan), merging functionality with creativity.
Core Idea: Glasses designed with lenses or frames that integrate fan-inspired elements, symbolizing refreshment, clarity, and motion.
Design Goals:
Challenge conventional eyewear aesthetics.
Introduce dynamic, imaginative elements that transform glasses into statement pieces.
Explore the metaphor of “seeing clearly” combined with the feeling of “fresh perspective.”
Combines vision (perception, awareness) with airflow (refreshment, movement, freedom).

SMALL THICKNESS CHALLENGE
Challenge
Because of the small thickness of the glasses, the fans broke at some point because it was less than 3mm.
I had to glue it manually with the glue and some tools in the Fab Lab.
