REFRAMD

The eyewear industry overlooks three billion people worldwide by designing glasses primarily around high and narrow nose bridges commonly found on people with Caucasian facial features. This creates social inequality and leads to people with wide or low nose profiles, such as ourselves (Black people), people of East Asian descent and people with Downs Syndrome, wearing glasses that are not designed for us and don't fit us.
We at REFRAMD we're leading the change, and in addressing this issue, we've developed eyewear that fits multiple nose profiles. Informed by our experience from a thousand face scans and custom glasses, we parametrically configure every design we create into three nose profiles (wide bridge, high bridge, low bridge) and three sizes (S, M, L). Our customers focus on finding their favourite pair and not worry about fit.
This is only possible because we print on demand. Eliminating upfront moulding costs, mass production and unsold stock ending up in landfills.
Jurystatement: “REFRAMD demonstrated the potential for sustainable mass customization enabled by 3D printing, allowing for on-demand production of glasses that are made for individuals in an inclusive and equitable way, making a positive impact on society.”
