Shwood is best known as being a pioneer in wooden eyewear frames, but the Portland, Oregon based outfit has taken their use of non-traditional eyewear materials to a whole new level with their 2013 “The Stone” Collection. The offering features remakes of their Belmont frame: panto-shaped frame with a keyhole bridge, and the Canby: the label’s original and most iconic model. For The Stone collection, the Portland-based brand looked to a German engineering firm to combine millimeter-thick slices of slate to create these stunning one-of-a-kind frames. Each pair is handmade at the label’s own Portland, Oregon workshop and accompanied by 100% UVA/UVB protection Carl Zeiss lenses imported from Italy. You can pre-order a pair now at Shwood’s online shop, in the mean time check out the video below.
