EMPLOYER: Foarm,
Inc. (A Composites & Thermoforming Company).
END CLIENT: Oakely
(Eyeware and Accessories)
PROJECT DATES:
1999 ~ 2007
TASKS:
Styling & Industrial Design.
Component Sourcing & Quoting.
Solidworks 3D modeling and Rendering.
Mold Design, Cutting Die Design
& Fixture Design.
Definately a full-service project:
I defined the styling, inserts
and details of these particular cases for Oakley;
including design of the
Thermoform Tooling and Cutting dies.
Oakley is a style-conscious,
design-oriented company.
Even though I was an outside
designer, they approved the styling without change.
These cases are currently in
production and about a million have been manufactured.
I also helped develop Military
versions of Oakley cases.
