Root
The Root is a pair of optical glasses that addresses both functional issues and a lifestyle message.
The shape and color deliver the message of going out to explore and enjoy nature instead of staying indoors to work or read. This is inspired by the retro hipster style that communicates the concept of happiness and freedom. Using a unique approach to the design, the glass sits on top of the frame in order to let users clean their glasses with ease.
