Sunglasses using Aromatherapy

The project proposes to incorporate
in the shape of the sunglasses
a small capsule containing a
a concentrate of essential oils. In this
way the glasses will not only offer
sunlight protection but will also use
the heat from the sun to evaporate
the essential oils. The capsule can
be changed after each usage and
will be available for sale with many
different fragrances. They are
mainly designed to offer the user a
calming and positive effect and to
help the mind, body and spirit to
cope with everyday stress.

(beginning with the year 2002) by
Opus Design, a Japanese brand owned
by Eyetec Co. The design belongs to the
Awarded works line, which consists of
the winning entries from the international
design competition Opus Design Award.
