Things aren’t often as simple as they appear to be, and such is the case for Prism, our new favorite line of glasses. Each pair, in fact, is quite complex. Carved out of unique blocks of acetate sourced from an archive that dates back to 1849, each pair is entirely unique and hand finished with no moulds in sight. Since they’re created in a family-run factory out of Northern Italy (it’s where glasses-making started, don’t you know), each style is limited to a small production. Inspired by the architecture, people, style, and general Je ne sais quoi of cities far and wide, it would be wise of you to find the city that suits you best before their time comes to an end.

Prism glasses are available in Opening Ceremony stores, and online in January 2010.
