DESIGN CHALLENGE EXHIBITION
The "Design challenge" was conceived by the Meilleurs Ouvriers de France Lunetiers as a real team challenge: to get young designers and eyewear makers trainees at the MOF EYEWEAR SCHOOL, to work together. The result? Eclectic frames, both in form and inspiration. Different visions of the "eyewear" object. But above all, stories of transmission and sharing.
