Title of Design: Time Traveler
Winners: Chim Pui Ho & Lam Long Him
Everyone has their own definition of future. For us, the future is "time travel" and therefore, we have crafted the concept of time travel journey into the glasses design.
The design is divided into left and right sides. The left side represents the past through the use of traditional materials and techniques, while the right side represents the future with the t ouch of bolder appearance and colour tone, bringing out the perfect fusion of the past and the future.

The concept of the parallel universe inspires the design. The geometric and parallelism structure influenced the eyeglasses just as the infinity timelines and life intersection.
The frame is asymmetry, with one bend starting on the upper frame and another on the lower frame. The middle of the bends begins to join towards the centre and share the same plane. They are overlapping on the side view but aren't on the other perspectives. Also, the bends are passed by each other ideally and just right, a metaphor for the infinite possibility in the parallel universe.
Title of Design: Osseon
Winner: Wong Zhen Jie, Lionel
School: The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
We are in exciting times, where advanced fabrication technologies and 3D tools allow exploring of ambitious forms not feasible with old manufacturing methods. OSSEON enhances the popular cat’s eye frame with immense levels of detail. The surface undulations blur boundaries between the exterior and interior, drawing viewers’ eyes on a sculptural adventure. 3D printing this one-piece frame in tough, flexible PA12 nylon enables folding the frame for storage without using hinges, and accommodates various head sizes. Furthermore, manpower costs are reduced. The porous material enables dyeing and colouring to celebrate everyone’s individualism and tastes.
Title of Design: Infinity
Winner: Lau Chi Sum
School: Youth College International
The glasses ‘’Infinity’’ is composited of two semi-reflective mirrors and between them was a customizable layer of glowing powder.
The design will appear like it has an infinite depth with mutable color and paten that is highly customizable for a design that only you have.
What is more futuristic and cyberpunk than glasses that fluoresce like neon lights in dark and have “depth” of a whole new world into it?

Morphogenesis is a biological process controlling tissue growth and cellular differentiation for evolving new forms. Synthetically, humans practice nano-biotechnological modifications to alter our natural limits.
My biomimicry design encourages viewers to embrace transhuman aesthetic and speculate humanity’s evolution. I imagine a multipurpose accessory, giving wearers ‘superpowers’ by incorporating different lenses and materials. Wearer can manoeuvre the lenses to access features such as magnification, light polarisation, colour enhancement, besides prescriptions for myopia, hyperopia and presbyopia, etc.
Looking through different lenses, we encourage empathy in wearers having them see through other’s eyes, reminding them humanity’s place on this planet and our interpersonal relationships. Morphogenesis is a whimsical commentary on our future of being more than human.
