Summary

    Hi, my name is Daniel and I’m an architect who can’t efficiently work on architecture due the problems that construction industry encountered in my country. So I temporarily abandoned the architecture and decided to implement my old product design ideas. The idea that I will introduce to you now is the one I wanted to create since the time I was a kid.

    So, the sunglasses. For me, as for many others, wearing the sunglasses has always been associated with problems such as: their constant slipping down the nose, painful red marks left by the bridge and nose pads. And I asked myself: why the sunglasses can’t exist without the bridge and nose pads in a first place? And an obvious solution for design of the EyeCrabs appeared. Headband that pushes structure of sunglasses to the temples. And the pressure from the headband to the temples turned out to be not so great because of large size of the EyeCrabs temporal pads.

    At this point the design could be completed. But wait. In fact the lenses now have no role to keep the sunglasses on a head and this means that now I can do anything with them. That’s how the function of hiding the lenses appeared.

    And these are the main features of EyeCrabs.

    Which provide many opportunities of how they can be used.

    As well as many possibilities for further development of their design: the feature of replacing the rims (already included) , supplementing the EyeCrabs with various accessories in the future, etc. 

What We Need & What You Get

    At the moment, the development of schemes for the first edition design of EyeCrabs called “Totally Crab” completed by 99%. And now I need funds primarily for the production of EyeCrabs sunglasses, their packaging and some bureaucracy stuff. Fund balances will be invested in creating the new models and supplements to the EyeCrabs (In the future, I am planning complement them with various electronic devices).

    For now, I am planning produce the first edition limited to 2000 pieces by this summer(*):  1000 in color “Cloud” and 1000 in color “Patriot”. Most of them or even ALL will go to my contributors and will never be produced in this “Totally Crab” design again (it is compatible with all future models, so don’t worry). Each pair of the first edition EyeCrabs will have its exclusive ID number that will be assigned to the contributor.

    The most active contributors will receive 3D model and schemes of the basic design of EyeCrabs. So that they will be able to 3D print spare parts as well as develop their own design for rims and lenses  which they can use themselves or send to us (If the design will be good enough good and comfortable to wear - we will produce EyeCrabs on the base of your design, and the author will receive a percentage of profit from the sales as well as will be listed as a EyeCrabs co-designer on the EyeCrabs website and as "designed by" on specific model EyeCrabs package).

   If the campaign attains at least three times more funds than planned - each set of EyeCrabs will be supplemented by two pairs of replaceable rims with lenses of alternative design.

The Impact

    Impact of the EyeCrabs - is to give the world a comfortable alternative to the traditional sunglasses. In some sense EyeCrabs are not glasses at all - they are something different, as a smoking pipe compared with cigars.

   I hope that with Your help EyeCrabs will take their place in the world as the traditional and recognizable accessory. And if it happens - I will not stop on the EyeCrabs, and will continue to create comfortable alternatives to other casual accessories.

Risks & Challenges

    It may sound cynical - but only real obstacles for me are money and time. I can't control the speed of the production of parts and delays in logistics. As well as I can't start the production without your contribution. 

    I will say honestly - the main risk is that if this campaign will not achieve the goal  I will not be able to start production in time. In that case, I can only promise that you will get your perks but later than planned. And I'm very sorry for that. Flexible funding - is  not my decision, it's just the only possible opportunity for me due to the PayPal limits.

    Any other possible production problems are not so complicated for me. After my experience in construction management - production of accessories is not so big deal.

Other Ways You Can Help

    If you can't fund EyeCrabs, but you would like to see them become a reality - please just show them to your friends. It is important for me. 

    EyeCrabs is a good idea, and it deserves to take its place in the world of accessories. 
    Thank you. And may the crab be with you.
