# Semi-Spectacle Magnifiers La Lunette Magnifying Glass is an Iconic Monocle for Print Deciphering By Amelia Roblin | Published 2014-01-05 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-lunette-magnifying-glass References: [store.luminaire](http://store.luminaire.com/desk-accessories/la-lunette-magnifying-glass) For anyone who has just a bit of difficulty reading [small print](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/video-magnifier), the La Lunette Magnifying Glass is a stylish desktop accessory. If you don't quite require a prescription to improve your vision, this dapper doodad is ideal for deciphering tiny text whenever you come across it. Designed by Maison Martin Margiela for Luminaire, this product was inspired by a pair of [vintage eyeglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frances-valentine-x-caddis-eyewear) with [glossy black frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gentle-monster-7). One half of the spectacles was emulated and a single arm was reoriented and fixed in place at a modified angle. The new arrangement makes it easy for the user to hold the La Lunette Magnifying Glass in one hand just above the small script that cannot be discerned with the naked eye. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Desktop Magnifiers:** There is an opportunity to innovate in the market of desktop magnifiers by creating stylish and functional designs like the La Lunette Magnifying Glass. - **Stylish Vision Accessories:** The trend of stylish vision accessories presents a disruptive innovation opportunity to create products that not only improve vision but also serve as fashion accessories. - **Portable Text Deciphering:** The demand for portable solutions to decipher tiny print presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the field of magnifying glass design. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Eyewear:** The eyewear industry can explore creating innovative magnifying glasses like La Lunette Magnifying Glass that combine fashion and functionality. - **Design:** The design industry can tap into the trend of stylish vision accessories by developing creative and fashionable solutions for people with visual impairments. - **Office Supplies:** The office supplies industry can introduce desktop magnifiers like La Lunette Magnifying Glass to provide employees with stylish and effective tools for reading small prints. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Practical Stylish Foldable Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/editions-pliables.md) - [Glasses Cleaning Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloth-capsule.md) - [Freestanding Metallic Eyewear Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eyewear-stand.md) - [Magnifying Measurement Rulers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fun-sizes-ruler.md) - [Scuba-Centric Reading Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/underwater-eyewear.md) - [Luxurious Eyewear Releases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gentle-monster-6.md) - [Individual Lens-Protecting Eyewear Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oqular-clip.md) - [Transforming Liquid-Lens Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/32-degrees-north.md) - [Magnified Illusion Furniture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zoom-chair.md)
