Eclipse Eyeglasses
Eclipse Eyeglasses is an innovative eyewear design that reimagines traditional spectacle construction through a distinctive astronomical inspiration, created by Georgian designer Levan Lominashvili. This avant-garde accessory features a revolutionary triple-lens structure arranged in concentric circles, incorporating graduated color transitions from yellow to orange with strategic transparent inserts, earning recognition with a Silver A' Design Award in the Jewelry Design category. The design's most striking feature is its departure from conventional eyewear architecture, employing three different-sized lenses (65mm, 52mm, and 36mm in diameter) arranged concentrically, creating a visual effect reminiscent of a solar eclipse. The frames demonstrate exceptional technical innovation through their unique construction, utilizing small steel bolts to secure the triple-lens arrangement while replacing traditional rigid temples with a flexible paracord system for behind-the-ear support. The eyeglasses showcase meticulous material selection, combining plastic lenses with precisely engineered components including iron balls for paracord fixation, achieving a total length of 620mm when fully extended. Available in two distinct colorways - a yellow variant featuring clear white lenses (Pantone 2204CP) with Pantone 3935C paracord, and a red version combining clear white lenses (Pantone 485C) with Pantone 7627 paracord - the design exemplifies the intersection of astronomical phenomena and wearable art. This groundbreaking approach to eyewear design not only challenges conventional construction methods but also creates a compelling narrative around the celestial phenomenon that inspired its creation, demonstrating how contemporary jewelry design can transcend traditional boundaries while maintaining functional practicality.
