THE DESIGN CHALLENGE EXHIBITION

"The Design Challenge was conceived by the MOF Lunetiers as a real team challenge: getting design students and trainees from the School of Eyewear to work together. The result? Highly eclectic frames, both in terms of shape and inspiration. Different visions of the "eyewear" object and, above all, wonderful stories of transmission and sharing, waiting to be discovered.
