DOP Eyewear

Coffee Glasses

This design utilises discarded coffee grounds to create a durable material that can be fashioned into a practical product for wear.

Focusing on combining functional use with unique aesthetics. The goal is to combine the demand for eyewear and the huge amount of disposed coffee grounds to breathe new life and purpose into the material.

Coffee is the worlds most popular beverage. Only 0.2% of the coffee bean is used to make a cup of coffee. 99.8% of it goes to waste. Around 18million tonnes of used coffee grounds go to land fill each year, contributing large amounts of methane. Coffee grounds have been proven to be effective as an additive in body clay. The pore formation increases insulation properties while maintaining mechanical integrity.
