I Live Now, So I Am Modern - Wolfgang Proksch


Wolfgang Proksch eyewear is finally available in US!

Wolfgang Proksch is a super talented German designer whose approach to eyewear captivated eyeglass junkies since 1991. His original collection was manufactured in Germany but later, to improve quality, he shifted the production to Japan.
Minimalistic yet bold his frames represent the material in a very dynamic way. Always flowing, never stubby or heavy set, the frames almost seem to float on air and that's what drew us to this line from the beginning. In addition, Wolfgang does not view his product just as a "medical device", he approaches it artistically and as a result his frames always have a strong impact on popular culture.

SFH - not just for San Franciscans

This week we received several photos from our clients wearing Spectacles for Humans' selections and some came from as far as Chile and Poland.
La Carmina is a funky and stylish blogger from Vancouver who recently discovered Spec Espace eyewear. She had to have a pair! Read more here.

While vacationing in Chile Ramil did not miss the opportunity to pose in a classy Spectacles for Humans t-shirt and a pair of ultra-rare handmade frames from Japan. Sadly, we cannot mention the brand of frames he's wearing.


And our talented musical friend Marcin Czubala is rocking dance floors all over Europe in his Dita Grand Master II. We suspect he is even swifter with the knobs now.


Other sizzling hot news....
We are continuing to work on our Los Angeles project and all we can say, prepare to be blown away.


Spectacles for Humans never ever takes conventional approach to anything and we decided to stay true to our principals and do something different in LA. Instead of opening another optical store somewhere on Melrose or 3rd or Montana or some mall, we are setting shop up in a loft in beatiful downtown LA. The architecture and the vibe are simply incredible and we simply cannot pass wait to become another business contributing to revitalization of the area.


To make things even sweeter we are working on special arrangements to have most incredible product for our opening, and maybe, just maybe.............Spectacles for Humans band -
Doktor Ludwig von Grunhauser - will be ready to play a few tunes. To put it simply, it will be a very special optical store.

The blog is not dead, long live the blog!

Thank God it's all over. The holidays, we mean the crazy holidays, of course. The busiest season of them all, this one has hit the Mothership like a 10-foot wave and swallowed us whole. After two weeks of darkness, for air we come up again and what a beautiful world it is...

Without further ado, we have our first announcement. Fellow citizens, shine your shoes and plump your hairdos for one of a kind optical experience. Spectacles for Humans is expanding...




All of our Southern brothers and sisters who called, e-mailed and paypaled us, you will need to suffer no more. We will free you from the sadistic retailers who put you in Gucci shackles. We will rescue you from unscrupulous traders who sold their souls only to dress you in Oliver Peoples' chains. We will cut these evil ropes and show you the world of brave new optical design full of refined artistry and fresh ideas. Prepare to experience the selection of exquisite quality eyewear that does not exist anywhere in the world.

Coming this March....
