Viage11 Modular Eyewear System

Viage11 Modular Eyewear System is an innovative modular eyewear design that revolutionizes traditional eyewear construction through its patented screw-free hinge system, enabling users to create eleven distinct styles from a single pair of glasses. This groundbreaking design, created by Mijin Lee and recognized with a Silver A' Design Award in the Eyewear Design category, represents a significant advancement in sustainable fashion accessories. The system features a base frame crafted from 0.7mm stainless steel sheets, weighing merely 13 grams, making it three to four times lighter than conventional eyewear. The design's ingenuity lies in its origami-inspired hinge mechanism, which eliminates the need for screws, rivets, or soldering, while maintaining structural integrity and durability. The system's versatility is achieved through interchangeable temples (both classic and cable styles) and detachable accent clips, allowing wearers to customize their eyewear for different occasions and personal expressions. With dimensions of 141mm in width and 145mm in length, featuring 52mm diagonal lenses, the frame is engineered to accommodate various face shapes. The design emerged from extensive research conducted through IDI and FGI methodologies, focusing on user experiences and market demands, particularly resonating with minimalist lifestyles and sustainable fashion consciousness. This innovative approach to eyewear design not only addresses practical concerns regarding maintenance and durability but also contributes to environmental sustainability by reducing the need for multiple pairs of glasses.
