BIOVISION
A concept for tomorrow
Philippe Starck and Alain Mikli have invented glasses for the millenium. They united technical and creative strengths, giving birth to a new concept: The Biovision
An articulation:
une human-like micro-clavicule.
Today, instead of the traditional screw hinge, there exists a biomecanical articulation designed like a human clavicule. Inspired from the natural intelligence of a human arm, this articulation has the same freedom of multi-directional movement. The secret of its resitance is a sinew made of twisted composite fiber that can handle up to 187 Ibs of resistance.

First Impressions
Sunday, July 27th, 2008What is the first thing people see when they notice you for the first time? Right! Its your face! Not your shoes, your handbag, briefcase, or your watch. And if you are an eyeglass wearer, beware…those specs are going to make a major impression…good, bad or indifferent. Eyeglasses are more than just a necessary evil nowadays, but a key fashion accessory, often lusted after by those who don’t even need corrective lenses. Eyewear is both as an essential fashion accessory and as an evolving, technology based, medical necessity for many of us. Have you ever considered how much your eyewear choice can influence how others perceive you and why an eyewear wardrobe might be necessary for your lifestyle. Your eyeglasses are more visible than many of the other items you wear. So don’t underestimate the power of your eyewear, get your new specs at ContactsandSpecs.com
