“A-Frame” Designer Eyeglasses

by Ron Arad for pq

London designer Ron Arad has created a range of sunglasses and spectacle frames that can be adjusted to fit any face by sliding the lenses along an A-shaped wire over the nose. The same wire forms a hinge mechanism that automatically closes the arms when the glasses are taken off. Each design in the collection is named after a different London Underground station. These are the first in a series of frames by Arad for new eyewear brand pq.

With frames designed by the artist, architect, thinker, designer and teacher Ron Arad, pq is here to bring something new to the world of glasses. New ideas are important. Most trousers look like trousers, most sweaters look like sweaters, most glasses look like glasses, but there is room for something new as well. That’s what pq is here to bring. Individuality is a big part of pq. Not only frames that are a little bit different but frames that can make you a little bit different too.
