Woody Terrain; handmade eyewear

Woody-Terrain is a prototype for a plywood eye-wear based on a series of my designs at Cutler and Gross of London for their Summer2006 collection.
Layered with flat pieces of Baltic-Birch plywood, woody-terrain employs standard manufacturing methods to capture a unique pattern that becomes it’s main characteristic feature.
In a very Miesian way the concept of this fashion accessory is to use the inherent qualities of the materials and fabrication methods as design elements.

This piece is the first of a evolving collection.
