Emotional Lens into Function

The concept began with an abstract idea: how fabric captures the form of the face through the wind. From there, I began listing all the problems with the current lens blanks. I then started merging these ideas directly onto the lens. The function emerged through emotive surfaces, ultimately leading to the most innovative lens blank in Oakley’s history.
