Many of the common frustrations that wearers of spectacles face are solved with this clever concept for flexible glasses. Designed by Neethu Mathew, this eyewear idea eliminates hinges completely and manages to produce a product that is pliable without being fragile.
A metal material called Nitinol would be used in the manufacturing of these 'Screwless, Super-Elastic Concept Glasses.' What makes it so innovative is that it has a shape memory that will always bend back to is most ergonomic position for the wearer, whether you find them buried at the bottom of your bag, of unfortunately situated under your seated bottom. What's more, these flexible glasses will never lose hardware and come apart, making them versatile enough for anyone and any lifestyle.
