RetroVision
Everything old is new again, especially when it comes to these very retro inspired sunglasses. Where normally tinted UV blocking lenses would cut the glare of the sun, these “Reed Screen Sunglasses” by Sang Jang Lee use the ancient eastern practice of reed screens to block the sun’s blinding glare. In case you are in the dark about reed screens, they are those roll up window blinds made of peeled reed stems. With pop out screens in various shades of shade and vibrant frames to match, these spectacles are quite the spectacle.
Designer: Sang-Jang Lee

What gives? Searching all over, all I get is other blog posts linking to this one, which provides absolutely no information about the product name, no link to the designer’s website, manufacturer or way to purchase. Any help?

I think this is a cool fun concept, people may not wear it daily unless they’re a retro-fanatic but it’s neat.

easy to make your own, the nifty thing about screens is the lightweight transparency compared to glass or plastic.
check out pinhole glasses as well, extremely unfashionable and thus all the more cool.
slits, holes, in any material can have useful optical properties not found in solid glass or plastic lenses
make screen sunglasses at home with any old frames, bit of screen material and glue
