Design Challenge Exhibition
Where design meets craftsmanship
What happens when the imagination of young designers meets the technical expertise of eyewear makers? Conceived by the MOF Eyewear Makers, the Design Challenge brings together students from the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Appliqués et des Métiers d’Art (ENSAAMA) in Paris and trainees from the MOF Eyewear Making Center around one shared challenge: to design and prototype eyewear using UNLIKELY MATERIALS!
Shapes, materials, creative approaches… discover the frames born from this collaboration and meet their creators.
