Vinylize upcycles brake cables for temples

The cables are used in their new collection called Cyklo

Vinylize is introducing its new Cyklo collection produced in a combination of their classic trademarked grooved vinyl material with the new upcycled brake cables used for the temples. This material is a composite that is hypoallergenic, flexible,  lightweight and durable.

Cycling is a much loved pastime dating back to the 1830s. According to Vinylize – the bike industry produces more than 26 million bicycles each year, and over 43 million metres of brake cable, making it an abundant material to upcycle with ease. Above: the new Vinylize Cyklo collection offers style and design originality – coloured vinyls are also a feature of this line

Vinylize announced the new Cyklo collection this week – it will be on show at OPTI in Munich

The collection offers three models, each available in four colours. Maintaining a link with music – a signature of the eyewear brand – these frames commemorate the hit song by Queen, “I Want To Ride My Bicycle”, originally composed in 1972 by Freddie Mercury.

Vinylize Cyklo – attention to detail in the combination frames

Vinylize has been making frames from records since 2004 in their own factory in Budapest, Hungary. They are currently using more than three tons of records to produce their frames and accessories each year, products which because they are produced in vinyl are completely unique in the field of  eyewear. The brand is committed to vinyl recycling and also offers recycling services to music distributors and individuals looking to responsibly dispose of vinyl. For more information about Vinylize visit www.vinylize.com
