The Vision Thing

For the truly devoted eco-consumer (there's an oxymoron), we came across these beautifully hand carved, wooden eye glass frames. They are carved by Scott Urban. His company Urban Spectacles, is a gem. Besides wood, Urban also makes frames from recycled records and industrial materials. One of the theories behind the wooden frames is that, unlike mass-produced, plastic frames, they actually breath on your skin, rather than creating sweat.

Style gossip has it that Urban created several wooden frames for Radio G of Chicago's Hotstyles. Apparently Radio wore a pair to the BET awards recently. The beat goes on.
