REFRACT by Mahra Mustafa
Winner of the third-place award, “REFRACT” explores light, movement, and athletic performance through a faceted structural frame inspired by the Olympic rings.
Its lightweight monocoque construction eliminates traditional nose pads while enhancing comfort and protection during high-intensity movement. The iridescent finish transforms reflected light into part of the visual experience, balancing sports functionality with a bold contemporary aesthetic.
AERFLOW by Anping Chu (China)
Selected among the global Top 10 finalists, “AERFLOW” is an eyewear concept developed for high-performance sports environments.
The project integrates aerodynamic ventilation systems into a streamlined wrap-around silhouette, reducing fogging and heat accumulation during physical activity. Advanced material research and lightweight construction combine technical efficiency with a futuristic visual identity.
SERAC / ARCTE by Gustav Craft (Sweden)
Inspired by alpine landscapes and modernist architecture, “SERAC / ARCTE” combines sports performance with sustainable material research.
The project integrates recycled PET, leather, wood, and metal into an eyewear system balancing durability, environmental responsibility, and everyday elegance.
LIGNE ALPINE / LIGNE CLAIRE by Camille Ferreira (South Africa)
Selected as a finalist, “Ligne Alpine / Ligne Claire” rethinks protective eyewear for alpine and outdoor sports.
The project focuses on aerodynamics, ventilation, and ergonomic comfort through a lightweight structure designed to maximise visibility and reduce wind resistance. Technical performance is paired with a minimal and contemporary aesthetic language.
