New technologies applied to design and its prototyping have opened unexpected scenarios and endless possibilities in the customisation of a product. Rosa Topputo’s research follows this direction:
she chooses to use 3D printing to create a line of sunglasses that,
starting from a frame that is always the same, can be customised
every day, according to the mood and the taste of the consumer/
user. Cambiami is in fact the name of the collection of sunglasses
created by this inventor, that combines innovation and artisan skills
through the processing of digital files into solid objects of sintered
polyamide, then finished and coloured by hand, truly unique pieces.
Based on a basic round frame with gradient lens, the Cambiami line
was born from the wish to offer a customizable product capable of
adapting to every person’s daily mood, designed to accommodate a
great number of applicable and interchangeable accessories. It is in
fact possible to compose one’s own glasses, by choosing the colour
of the frame, the arms and the decorative elements, and the shape
of the accessories; one can also choose from a series of proposals.
All accessories, freely inspired by Italian beauty, play on irony and
originality, and draw inspiration from four main themes: Burano,
for the embroidery and lace tradition of the same-name Venetian
island; Rosae, a homage to springtime in Rome with its explosion of
colours, symbol of vanity and beauty; Ratio, the union of a circle and
a square as a tribute to Italian rationalist architecture; and Depero,
inspired by this artist and all the Futurist movement.

“Back in Trento, Pomini recently introduced customizable sunglasses, round frames with interchangeable accessories that can be clipped on and off. Since October, HSL has received unsolicited inquiries about the glasses from distributors in Ukraine, Greece, the U.S., and Brazil. The designer who created them, architect Rosa Topputo in Rome, took her inspiration from traditional Italian themes: hard angles taken from Italian rationalist architecture, a curlicue pattern derived from lacework typical of an island in the Venetian lagoon. Says Topputo: “Even when you do something with new technology, you can’t forget the aesthetics of the past.”
