Eyewear label Schwood has taken natural elements as inspiration for its latest range of sunglasses. Titled the Badlands collection, these pieces of eyewear capture the beauty of nature.
Encapsulating their inspiration, Shwood has ventured into an innovative manufacturing process known as stabilization. This new process allows natural elements to be cast in resin, made durable and long lasting. Schwood used stabilization in partnership with their hand-made processing technique to create a unique four piece collection. The label has taken desert flowers and has transformed them into wearable pieces of art which embody the terrain of the badlands.
Though stabilization was used to create casual and naturalistic sunglasses, the new manufacturing process will surely see an endless amount of materials put to creative uses.
