For the glasses wearer looking to lower the resolution of their frames, designer Dzmitry Samal offers pairs of retro-futuristic pixelated glasses, inspired by late ’80s video games and “society’s fascination with an ‘informational aesthetic’”.
Samal is selling two styles of 8-bit frames, the 6dpi and 5dpi, each hand-made pair running a cool 198 euro (about $268). “While computer images and graphics have been revolutionised over the past two decades, these glasses are reminiscent of society’s digital roots and how technology has inspired almost everything in use today,” he writes. “Even something as utilitarian as glasses can be transformed using technology.”
Cheap? No. Stylish? Sure! Want some? You can pre-order them now from Samal’s web site.
