Shwood Eyewear is a company out of Portland, Oregon making custom wood sunglasses. Their new project, Stone, incorporates slate stone onto the frames, with a fantastic textured look and feel. They also released a pretty epic video for the glasses.
Fusing millimeter-thick slices of genuine slate with premium birch wood, portland-based shwood eyewear have developed their hand crafted limited edition
‘stone collection’. Hand-poured pewter inlays complete the look, creating the perfect balance between rugged and refined, continuing to reflect on the company’s experimental manufacturing approach with nature. The frames incorporate 100% UVA/UVB protection with Carl Zeiss lenses imported from Italy, and comes packaged in a custom felt pouch with an embroidered leather patch.
Each pair of spectacles is made from slate with premium birch wood.
