" Innovative and winsome creations are in the spotlight as the winners
of the 14th Hong Kong Eyewear Design Competition were announced today.
Under the theme
'Timeless' the competition, organised by the Hong Kong
Travel Development Council (HKTDC) and the Hong Kong Optical
Manufacturers Association, saw more than 200 entries this year. Eleven
prizes were awarded to nine local designers, whose creations will go on
display at the region's leading HKTDC Hong Kong Optical Fair, opening
next week." So goes the press release appearing on

released at a media conference this afternoon with the Okia Optical
Company sweeping the champion, first runner-up and second runner-up
prizes in the Professional Group section. The champion piece, "Mag Type"

and its distinctive sound. Infusing modern elements into the classic
typewriter, the spectacles use no screws, are interchangeable and
feature a spring-hinge function."
