plant based glasses
These glasses with their striking surface structure are made from an innovative and sustainable material, a powder extracted from the castor bean plant. Using a 3D printing process, they are made from this renewable raw material, which has various sustainable and functional qualities. Among other things, it is flexible, natural and skin-friendly. Another innovative feature is the screwless eyeglass hinge, which can be easily printed using 3D technology, which in turn minimises the number of suppliers needed.
Statement by the Jury
The eye-catching surface structure of these plant-based glasses is just as much a unique selling point as is the sensational material from which they are made.
