German Firm Puts Sushi in the Frame

Imagine the scene: it’s a beautiful summer’s day and you have decided to treat yourself to some takeaway sushi in a nearby park. But — shock, horror — as you are about to enjoy your Japanese raw fish experience, you realize you have left the chopsticks behind.

But before you�heroically�reconcile yourself to forgoing those sumptuous Maki rolls, you remember that your new sunglasses from Berlin-based company “ic!berlin” have built in chopsticks. Your�meal has been saved…

The spectacle frames are made from lightweight stainless steel and fit together without the use of screws. However, there is a drawback. Once the arms have been removed for use in eating, the glasses are rendered unwearable until the chopsticks are replaced on the frames, making eating for visually impaired diners quite literally a hit-and-miss affair. And then there’s the possibility of wasabi dripping off your ear lobe when you reattach the chopsticks.
