The 8-bit pixelated sunglasses designed by CNC Design boast a playful design that every professed geek would love to wear on a day to day basis. Although they are definitely made with a particular person in mind, it would not be hard for others to appreciate the retro aspect behind the glass.
Dubbed The Deal With It Sunglasses, the 8-bit pixelated sunglasses are laser cut and engraved out of a solid piece of smoked acrylic. Since the shades don't have hinges, they don't operate like normal frame in that they stay in a static position. Yet this detail makes them even more believable as it gives the design a two dimensional feel that is perpetuated by the sharp pixels.
