The designer’s work has been exhibited as part of Material Matters at the London Design Festival – an exhibition which showcases material innovation and sustainability
The latest additions to Yair Neuman’s ‘Lens-made objects’ collection have been presented at the London Design Festival this season. The new pieces, handmade from upcycled waste spectacle lenses, encompass wall lights, table lights and frosted finish pendants as well as spectacle frames made from Delerex®, a material comprised of 100% recycled lenses developed by the designer.

In conjunction with the fish-scale like surfaces he has been creating with the lenses, the new edition of Lens Lights introduces innovative new granulated surfaces. “The development allows higher material turnover, more efficient shaping, and an increased production capacity. Consequently, the quantity of discarded lenses that can be recycled sees a significant rise,” the designer explains.
Delerex® eyewear, designed by Yair Neuman, is produced by the French eyewear company La Maison Bourgeat (www.atelier-bourgeat.com), the only producer in the world currently making frames from recycled lenses. Find out more at www.yairneuman.com /
