    Le Corbusier built from a fundamental element, man (on average 1.83 m high) and designed architecture looking for the best relationship between man and his own living space. In the Cité radieuse project he built a vertical city by identifying a basic cell that creates 23 different types of housing.

    For the single pair of glasses, we therefore sought the ideal relationship between eyewear and its living space. Each pair of glasses needs at least 20 cm 3 of space to live in, which is necessary for it to be well displayed and to show its value.

    The entire eyewear store was designed using the ideal footprint of a single pair of glasses, which was used to build different areas and furnishings.

    Each eyewear unit is equipped with a shelf, electrical system and light source, and can be used as a support for other structures: advertising panels, mirrors, lamps and slide systems/closures.

    “… per l’abitare nel vecchio senso, dove l’intimità, la sicurezza stava al primo posto, è suonata l’ultima ora. […] Il futuro sta sotto il segno della trasparenza…”

    Walter Benjanin, Il ritorno del flậneur, 1929
