Wooden Frames

We all know that green is the new black. You've all heard of the wooden USB drives and iPod covers, but nothing spells more eco-chic than wooden frame glasses, with glasses making such a big comeback in the past few years. I couldn't take my eyes off them the first time I laid them on this pair a HK Nike salesman was wearing. They were wooden, geeky, with a sleek white coat on the inside and true tree on the outside.


Ever seen those paper/foam/balsa wood aeroplanes which parts could be punched out from a single sheet and crafted into an ultra cool flying machine? Or those plastic parts for toys you needed to twist out? This is like a mix of both, except much nicer to touch and look at. Like an Eames chair. Did I mention how nice it is to touch and look at? Urban Spectacles has the scoop on tone, grain, custom jobs, loads of pictures and what not. Like fine wine, it also gets better with age, and may change to a different shade of brown from UV rays and oxidation.

Sagawafuji frames

You may also want to indulge in these Japanese Sagawafuji frames. Imagine how light they must be to wear, and plus, you get bonsai vision. B)
