Future Eyes Glasses

About a month ago I was contacted by a company called 'Future Eyes' who make Kaleidoscope glasses which give you a 'crystal vision'. Remember having a kaleidoscope as a young'un and just turning it until your hearts content? Future eyes have captured this youthful creativity into an everyday vision so you can see the world through a different light and step out from the confines of an ordinary kaleidoscope; enabling your imagination to run riot.

The company is based in LA (hence why they took a few weeks to arrive), the glasses are handmade and were designed by artist Brent Pearson who explores the art of invention. The thinking and concept behind the glasses I find really interesting which you can read about in the about section of their website. This particular extract caught my attention; 

"The word "kaleidoscope" is a very wonderful word. Kaleidoscope comes from the Ancient Greek words Kalos, Eidos, and Skopeo - Beauty, Shape, and to Look. In other words it means to see the beauty of life. Optical aerobics is an idea I am developing to allow for the advancement of human perception by conscious sensory exploration."

Future eyes also have rainbow kaleidoscope glasses and kaleidoscope necklaces which are equally as innovative. I absolutely love the glasses and the artistic scope they posses! I've spent way too much time playing around with them today when I should be packing to return to university but I'm really chuffed with some of the photos I've captured.

Recently Lady Gaga has been spotted with a pair of kaleidoscope glasses which Jack from 'Just Having a Giraffe' made a great blog post about which you can have a read of here! He was also gifted a pair of future eyes and wrote a great review! Lots of musicians have explored Future Eyes' crystal vision including; The Kills, Miike Snow, Skrillex and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros all of which I am big fans of and also the likes of Russel Brand.

I don't think I would would wear these non-stop as I'd probably end up with even worse eyesight than I already have but they're so quirky, cool and propose an alternative vision/perspective for the future.
