Bamboo Glasses

In design we see the growing use of synthetic materials in the 'anti' retro movement. To counter this I offer the 'Ming' bamboo glasses from the yii Collection of Taiwan recently found at Designboom, these objects are not only wonderfully tactile but additionally made from a beautiful and versatile natural material..... bamboo.
One look at the material used in this form and you can see its natural beauty, in the unique hinge mechanism you can see the use of the grain of the bamboo introduced by designer Chen, Chin-Hao and Bamboo artist Huang, To-En
Reading comments from the post - I was struck by those who wished they could wear glasses - specially if they looked as stylish as these..... I would love a pair of these.
