Vinylize is a Hungarian company that manufactures eyewear using materials repurposed from vinyl records. Its new Limited Edition luxury designer eyewear may be its most gorgeous offering yet. It uses extremely rare blue vinyl taken from Pink Floyd's 'The Division Bell' album as well as pressings for the track 'High Hopes'.
The Division Bell was Pink Floyd's best album in the post-Roger Waters era, and included such delightful songs as High Hopes, Coming Back To Life and Marooned. This eyewear is perfect for Pink Floyd fans and lovers of luxury eyewear alike.
The inside of the eyewear box is adorned with a sleeve from the original vinyl, while the stamped certificates of originality are made from the rear sleeve. The eyewear's frames feature the same grooves that existed on the original vinyl records.
