typographic glasses

I think designers like accessories very much. I see an increasing number in retro-glasses, cool and simple watches, beautiful leather bags and such things around me. I even have a cousin who is studying arts and wearing glasses without the actual glass. What is the thing that enables us to those little ornaments nowadays more and more? Is it our need for solidity in a very digital field? I call them ornaments because glasses are used more for decorative purposes than their function or wristwatches are somewhat like table calendars(hello teacher!) for many of us; more for beauty, less for function.

Following products are brilliant for many reasons. They are very elegant, they fill a very obvious gap in design field because typography lovers were out of typographic T-Shirts. (Ok we get it, you love typography) And my cousin may take the glass out of windows, I believe.








And I reveal the real reason why I made this post. Sorry but it was my idea; Marko Pasa logo contains glasses which is made of letters for a Freudian look... (or a Jungian; you'll not be forgotten) My glasses' font is Collaborate Thin. And I will try to make the actual glasses too for company's gift package which is getting more and more suicidal by the end of the break.

package design

I didn't understand very much the function of the balancing blocks. Also what is the chart for? It says:

SVBSCRIPTION is a luxury service for men that delivers a thoughtfully curated collection of objects to subscribers’ doorsteps. Based on a new theme each quarter, SVBSCRIPTION packages include items geared towards individuals who have an appreciation for design, culture and quality. For their V3 parcel they explored the notion of leisure, encouraging subscribers to take full advantage of their time off the clock with objects to entertain and inspire. Designed to emphasize states of leisure in both daytime and evening.

























Ok, but how do they work? Apart from that, I liked the simplicity of the wooden box, the blue ink stamp logo, the material with geometric pattern and the balancing blocks. They are all very pleasing to eye.

I am also thinking a set of wooden blocks for Marko Paşa gift with the idea of 'we complete the missing wooden blocks/sticks' (eksik tahtaları tamamlarız)
