McClintock party time: Rock Optika launch in Covent Garden

McClintock Eyewear in Covent Garden, London, is famed not only for its superior collection of handmade glasses, but also for its parties. We've frequently turned up for our fill of glasses – of wine and of the spectacular.

McClintock last week hosted the official launch of the wonderful Rock Optika collection, as made by Tom Herrington and previewed here last month, so here are few pictures from the night...

Opening picture: Rock Optika's Key Largo. Above Bertie wears a bespoke frame made by McClintock. And below are a collection of pictures taken by Julian Cox, who's rather handy with the iPhone camera, and a few by EWG.

To get more of an idea of the lovely frames in stock in McClintock, have a look here. Finally, Dr Savage performs a poem...

Kilsgaard Eyewear wins 2010 IF product design award

Measuring quality eyewear design per capita, Eye Wear Glasses has identified Aarhus, Denmark, as a talent hotspot, after Kilsgaard Eyewear was announced winner of the prestigious iF product design award.

Aarhus is also home to another quality eyewear company, which if I'm not mistaken has won similar awards in the past. Congratulations to Jacob and the team on achieving such a feat, just two years after the company began.

Collection#1 frames are made of aluminium, and the single screw in each hinge also secures the lenses in place. Designed in Denmark, working closely with architectural designers Bonnelycke, and produced in Italy and Denmark, Collection#1 makes the wait for #2 too long!.
