Playn Eyewear at Shoreditch Boxpark

If you've never bought a pair of glasses from a shipping container, now might be your chance. Boxpark in Shoreditch is a collection of pop-up shops assembled like Lego near the Overground station. There, until 24 November, is Playn Eyewear, a lovely collection of good-quality acetate frames. It's not an opticians though, so have your prescription at the ready and get a decent pair of specs, fully glazed, all good quality for £125. Oh and if you can't get along to Shoredicth in the next three weeks, you can do it all online: Playn Eyewear. Playn simple!

Ørgreen opens flagship store in Copenhagen

Danish spectacle design superstar Ørgreen has opened a flagship store in its home-city of Copenhagen.

It will of course carry the full range of Ørgreen glasses and shades as well as eyewear from Reiz, Blinde, Zuerihorn and Ic! Berlin.

It even has some of those rather nice chairs to sit on, as featured here a while back.
