EYEWEAR PRODUCED FROM UNWANTED VINYL RECORDS
‘vinylize’ glasses are handmade eyewear in Hungary by Tipton eyeworks. after searching for a new material to make frames, Zachary Tipton discovered his father’s old record collection, and had the idea to recycle the abundant material to serve a new purpose. the first series was developed from communist vinyl, salvaged from the Budapest flea markets. the durable pressings could still be played, even after half a century, but to insulate them from the effects of heat, they were fused with biodegradable cellulose-acetate using proprietary technology. following years of testing, the team developed methods to transform one of the longest lasting plastics into eyewear. This resulted in one of the most sought after unique concepts in handmade eyewear for people in search of something to reflect their own character.
