The challenge given to us was to design a product that could be used easily by people with debilitating vision problems as well as the normally sighted, was well balanced and could be made in reasonable production volumes. We recommended using cast Urethane for the material which provided good balance between the weight of the lens and the handle as well as meeting the production requirements. The contour of the product provides secure gripping areas that match the shape of the hand. The solution is not only beautiful and comfortable, with excellent optics, and was chosen by the Museum of Modern Art to be part of their permanent design collection and is included in the museums' recent book American Design.
