With the eyes being the windows to the soul, the eyewear is the one doing the window-dressing. If done in a way that bridges craft and stimulation, it is at that time that the eye is not only seen, but is also heard. Spectacles for Humans is like a gallery where dots of eyes become the masterpiece framed in what looks like art in itself. With its first shop in San Francisco and a showroom in Los Angeles, Spectacles for Humans has been at the forefront of the eyewear industry since 2006 placing its unique selection of top independent brands on eyewear enthusiasts.
Spectacles for Humans understands that eyewear is transferrable art. It moves with its owner, needing to be of the utmost quality to endure the daily weathering. It is because of this acknowledgement that Spectacles for Humans delivers only quality products that brave it out and make the brave ones look bolder while doing so.
In keeping with his notion that "design should be modern, clean, and functional, without useless gadgets nor silly contraptions", Spectacles for Humans owner, Dimitri Grunhauser, says, "I bring in lines that floor with me with their finesse, simplicity, quality and attention to details".
And now with his 20 years of experience as an optician, Grunhauser will be bringing the Spectacles for Humans faithful their very own SFH-branded eyewear. He says, "Our own frames will combine the old and the new. My designs will be handmade in Italy, from highest quality acetate by real craftsmen. They will have a touch of nostalgia, yet they will not look dated."
In creating the first United States-based blog to be dedicated to eyewear, there is nothing dated about Spectacles for Humans. The blog, kept up to date with collection previews and street style captures of hip individuals wearing SFH-carried lines, is elevated by the passion words. With the widely read blog and subsequent exposure, Spectacles for Humans had made the West Coast expansion and plans to answer the East Coast's demand with a future location in New York.
Professionally and passionately, Spectacles for Humans continues to push beyond the circled frame. Personally, Grunhauser is a man with a lot of seen success- and who can be seen and heard even more with the Germany release of his first EP and a future European tour. Vibe with him here and view more on the Spectacles for Humans blog.
Spectacles for Humans will be at the GRAMMY Style Studio, all this week!
