Pincer Shades RAW
Pincer Shades are an experiment to understand the aesthetics of computational design and is a RAW, unedited and un-engineered result of topology optimization experiments.
They were made using algorithms designed to support the lenses using minimum material and weight.
Inspired by nature's way of designing with help of evolution and natural selection, Computational Topology Optimisation was used to create these lightweight glasses with organic bone-like aesthetics.
The algorithms were tweaked to incorporate a broad temple element, bringing in a a slim yet wide-body look.
The signature "pincers" hold the lenses in place along with the branched structure behind the lens.
The temples are electroplated with precious metals like gold or silver over ABS plastic, maintaining the light weight with the metallic benefits.

The algorithm uses gemstones like rubies as support structures, adding strength to the output of 3D form.
An alternate metallic CMF using Silver electroplating over the temples.
The algorithms used to design these shades were tweaked to incorporate a broad temple element, bringing in interesting outputs and a much slimmer yet wide-body look.
This output is a testament to using computational tools, blending the predictable output along with surprise detailing.
