Brian Ng'aru crafted a stunning wooden glasses case for Klaus, blending natural elegance and practicality with a touch of personalization. What's your wish?
A request by Klaus from Berlin, Germany
I would like a custom-made glasses case in the color dark, made of high-quality wood with visible knots. The case should be the same size as the standard Marc O’Polo cases and therefore ideal for large glasses.
The design should be classically modern and emphasize the natural beauty of the wood with a smooth finish. The visible knots give the case a rustic charm and make each piece unique. The dimensions should be generous enough to safely accommodate large glasses. A typical size could be around 170 mm in length, 75 mm in width and 50 mm in height.
The inside of the case should be lined with a soft, padded material to protect the glasses from scratches and knocks. A secure magnetic closure ensures that the case remains firmly closed while being easy to open.
In addition, the glasses case should have ventilation holes to prevent moisture build-up that could damage the lenses. For a personalized touch, a subtle monogram or logo could be added to the front of the case.
All edges and surfaces should be polished smooth to ensure a pleasant feel and safety in daily use. Finally, the case should be made from sustainable wood and using environmentally friendly processes to guarantee long-lasting and environmentally friendly use.
