Who makes Heston Blumenthal's new glasses as featured in British Airways' Great Britons campaign?

Who makes Heston Blumenthal's new black glasses as featured in British Airways' Great Britons campaign? Kirk Originals, that's who
Kirk Originals Kinetic Java in aubergine
Well Mr Headline Writer, that would be Kirk Originals. Michelin-starred chef Heston Blumenthal – pictured above with Brit artist Tracey Emin and actor-director Richard E Grant (piss artist Withnail)  – and his new spectacles have featured on this domain before. Blumenthal, in his good-but-perhaps-not-as-good-as-these-new-ones, bespoked Bugatti frames, and the Kinetic collection from Kirk Originals. Specificaly, the Kinetic Java, I think, in aubergine.

The best thing about this great frame, of course, is that the temples incorporate lenticular prints that change with movement. Fun stuff and only fully appreciated with some moving images, below. More Kirks posts here...
