Adi Abramov has won the SILMO International Design Competition in Paris for a pair of glasses he designed.

After previously announcing his selection as a finalist from among a long list of contenders, we are delighted to announce that Department of Industrial Design student Adi Abramov has won the prestigious SILMO competition that took place in Paris!

Adi won with a pair of glasses he designed as part of a course in the Department of Jewelry Design last year.

The course in glasses design is considered one of the most sought-after in the Department of Jewelry Design. Occasionally, selected students from other departments are also invited to participate, as was the case with Adi.

As part of the course, which combines jewelry design and product design, the students are required to design glasses that also function as a form of jewelry for the face. Apart from the aesthetic side, students must deal with the ergonomic, optometric and comfort requirements for such a complex object.
