A collection of 14 glasses and sunglasses, designed by four students, including Joshua Teodoro, studying Industrial Design at Loughborough University have gone on sale.

The four designers – Emily Hill, Lydia Blackshaw, Tiffany Bachelet and Joshua Teodoro – entered Specsavers’ inaugural design competition last year, with their creations chosen from more than 140 entries.

The glasses are now on sale at Specsavers in Loughborough.

Joshua Teodoro said: ‘I’m used to designing all kinds of things so I wanted to challenge myself and design glasses.

‘My designs were inspired by space travel, so I’ve incorporated a red stripe in the designs, similar to the stripe seen on spacesuits. I see space as a metaphor for the creative process. It’s all about exploration and being curious.

‘I found designing glasses interesting because of the artistry and creativity. I’d love to design more.’
