Luxury Reading Magnifiers

Ralph Lauren Designs a Chic and Practical Piece of Decor

— December 5, 2014 — Art & Design
Reading magnifiers are something that seems more practical than decorative, but that is not the case when it comes to this one in particular. Designed by Ralph Lauren, this reading magnifier, dapperly dubbed Gaspard, is made out of silver-plated brass and comes with an elegant faux leather case that it can rest in when not in use.

Taking on a circular shape, the reading magnifier is raised so that a person can use it without having to hold it. Particularly great for traditional homes and classic offices, the reading magnifier would make a great gift for a father, colleague and someone who simply needs some help when it comes to reading on a regular basis. After all, it is more sophisticated than wearing glasses.
Trend Themes
1. Luxury Office Decor - Companies producing luxury office decorations, such as Ralph Lauren's Gaspard reading magnifier, can cater to professionals who value practicality and elegance in the workplace.
2. Redefining Practicality - The Gaspard reading magnifier shows that practical items, such as reading aids, can also be sophisticated and fashionable.
3. Upscale Gifts - The Gaspard reading magnifier, with its elegant faux-leather case and silver-plated brass design, could tap into a market for upscale gifts for colleagues and loved ones.
Industry Implications
1. Luxury Home Goods - Luxury home goods brands can take inspiration from Ralph Lauren's reading magnifier and create more high-end functional decor for the home.
2. Assistive Technology - Assistive technology companies can focus on creating more stylish and sophisticated products for those with visual impairments.
3. Office Supplies - Office supply companies can expand their product lines to include more aesthetically pleasing and luxurious items, such as reading magnifiers designed for professional settings.
