Blooming
Sonja‘s eyewear design was inspired by blossoming flowers and early spectacle frames. Combining the organic forms of nature and the functional elements of spectacle frames the designer developed a convertible item that can be easily manipulated giving several different looks. The product was also designed with a practical folding possibility, taking as little space as possible in the carriers bag. The lenses are produced of laser-cut plexiglass with Orchid flower prints, and the frames are made manually using 18k gold plated brass.
Blooming Folding Eyewear by Sonja Iglic was selected as an innovative example of fashion design by the A' Design Award. Blooming Folding Eyewear received the Golden A' Design Award in Jewelry Design in 2018. The A' Jewelry Design Award is an international, jury-voted, fair and ethical design prize that honors excellent design of rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, brooches, pendants, cufflinks, anklets and more.
