Modular Eyewear Can Instantly Swap Between Frames, Lenses, Temples Sans Tools

Venice was the city that welcomed the first traveler, Marco Polo, and was the birthplace of the first pair of glasses. And out of the cobbled ancient streets has now come Vialog’s Via Venezia eyewear collection—a modular take on glasses.

The eyewear comes in three shapes: round, square, and pentagonal. It is also lightweight, akin to carrying two credit cards in your wallet. The real magic, though, lies in its interchangeability. No tools are needed—each part of the glasses, like the frames, lenses, and temples, easily click into place.

The modular Garnir system empowers you to mix and match frames and lenses for diverse looks. Meanwhile, the Active Temple add-on gives you a better grip on your head, so you won’t have to worry about the glasses slipping off you.

Now that aesthetics are covered, your vision comes next. The Blue Light Cut lenses are engineered to alleviate the eye strain caused by the ever-present blue light emitted by screens. At the same time, UV lenses protect you from the sun’s harsh glare. Wearers can add prescription and transition solutions on top of that.

Before you invest in a pair, you can head to the brand’s Instagram to use an augmented-reality filter and see which type would suit your face.

The Via Venezia collection has received twice its Kickstarter funding and pledges starting from US$159.
