Shih-Yun Swin Huang

Swin Huang, The creator of The No. 2 Eyewear, a New York Based Eyewear Brand That Challenges The Status Quo. People are given the choice between two terrible options when it came to their glasses. Be stylish, or be comfortable. And she thought that is BS, so she created The No. 2 Eyewear — The glasses are so light and comfortable that you feel wearing nothing on your face, yet it’s incredibly durable. Swin wore glasses since she was a kid and was definitely not a fan. With around 30 frames she has worn in my life, most aren’t comfortable, and the comfortable ones are ugly. Many people who wear glasses can feel the pain as Swin does — frames are heavy, they keep sliding down, the red marks on my nose, and not to mention the pain behind my ears. Besides, she broke a couple of my frames by accidentally sitting on or bending or dropping the glasses. Most eyewear in the market only focuses on the style rather than take the whole wearing experience into design consideration — From the moment you take out the glasses from the case, what’s the feeling of touching and holding the frame? How comfortable when you put them on your face? How easy can they be stored without worrying about breaking them? Do they require constant repairs? These are all user experiences when it comes to eyewear. That’s why people experience discomfort, heaviness, or repairs constantly and take the unpleasant eyewear experience for granted because that’s the status quo of the eyewear market. The No. 2 is not just another eyewear brand that produces fashionable and trendy glasses. They are set to solve people’s eyewear problems and provide the highest quality eyewear — No discomfort. No screws. No broken glasses. People don’t need to choose between style or comfort. You can look and feel the best anywhere, anytime.
