Portrait – 1984

PORTRAIT 1984 large round and teardrop prescription glasses

1984 Dedicated to George Orwell and his dystopian critique, 1984 reminds us – contradicting the rules of the superstate regime described in his iconic book – of the uniqueness of independent thought and individualism. In a form of revenge against the “thought crime,” this fashionable eyewear embraces the intellectual choice to live by our own rules, what Orwell would have wished for his main character over “Big Brother.” The Art-Fakt series to which Portrait’s 1984 prescription glasses belong was inspired by retro futurism. The vision of a post-industrial future that has permeated aesthetics and functionality in different artistic fields.
