Theo interprets the nerd trend
8th June 2011 Glasses featuring maths symbols? This is a limited release by the Belgian designers at Theo which plays on the trendy “geek-chic” look. There are four titanium and four plastics in the series which are now available in some of Theo’s most popular stockists. Taking the mathematical theme as its starting point, the designs have minute, fluorescent mathematical symbols contrasting with the black of the frame, from the easily recognisable “equals” sign to less well-known symbols such as the one for disjunction. Theo has injected humour, whilst creating frames with a strong identity. The use of fluorescent tones is on-trend but not garishly flamboyant, a fun touch. CN
