Nader Zadi Introduces Yogi Spectacles to “Enlighten” Vision

This is how glasses do yoga:

Luxury eyewear designer, Nader Zadi, has introduced yogic spectacles to function as instruments for vision. They house the lenses that refract light, thereby “enlightening” the eyes of the wearer for enhanced vision.

The spectacles demonstrate their agility by folding and wrapping the arms into various “postures” that fit into a miniature pouch. These folding spectacles, from Mr. Zadi’s personal archives originate from the 1920′s and are composed of tortoise shell with gold and silver bridges, rivets, and hinges that were engineered to swivel and fold specifically for this purpose.

Nader Zadi — Wed, 25 Jul 2012 18:36:36 +0000

Nader Zadi unveils limited edition sunglasses inspired by a rare gemstone found in the Anahi mine in Bolivia, Ametrine.

The artist’s creation exhibits a diamond like faceted lens shaded in three vertical zones of lavender starting at the nasal, yellow in the center, and peach towards the temple. This pattern represents the display of colors that naturally occur within ametrine; a hybrid quartz gemstone composed of amethyst and citrine. The lenses are crowned with a filigreed yellow gold bridge from the 1930′s.

“On a color spectrum, lavender and yellow are distant hues, but the beauty of ametrine naturally converges the diversity of these colors side by side.”

“As an artist, I am inspired by the different phases of the moon, which influence my visions, creativity, and passion I invest into my craft.
