8-bit Glasses


SAMALdesign makes a large range of glasses, but more importantly 8-bit glasses. These glasses can be bought and customized, but these glasses don't come cheap, they range from 198 euros to "soon in production", which can't be cheap. I'd so totally buy these if I wasn't so stingy (read: Still living at home and jobless).

"These futuristic glasses have been designed with a pixelated effect, deliberately reflecting society's fascination with an "informational aesthetic". The design clearly refers for late 1980s computerized graphics and video games such as Tetris. While computer images and graphics have been revolutionized over the past two decades, these glasses are reminiscent of society's digital roots and how technology has inspired almost everything in use today. Even something as utilitarian as glasses can be transformed using technology."

  10. That price is absolutely ridiculous. Love the idea though. Someone figure out how to make these and pimp them on etsy so I can buy them okay?
