Eco Ocean

Eco Ocean frames are made from recycled ocean plastic, because plastic has no place in the ocean. Eco teamed up with the NGO Waste Free Oceans to source old ropes from the maritime industry found in the ocean and on shorelines. The waste material is shredded and molded into pellets which in turn are injection molded into frames. The collection consists of bold yet easy-to-wear frames. They are lightweight and super comfortable with a smooth, matte finish in ocean-inspired shades. Each frame comes in a case made from recycled PET fabric.

YiQi Hanzi Flashcards

Learning Chinese can be very visual. Chinese characters look like complicated drawings to people who don't know Chinese. YiQi Hanzi flashcards use design thinking and drawing to make the characters understandable to everyone to spread Chinese culture and the beauty of Chinese characters. The flashcards design also incorporates technology. The QR code on each card takes users to the YiQi Hanzi online learning center to expand the learning resources for each character. The whole experience design makes it easy for people to learn and memorize characters.
