I've seen some interesting spectacles before, but never has one appealed to me the way these Ming glasses do. Utterly unique, they are wholly made from bamboo, which makes them all the more appealing because of their sustainability.
Created by designer Chen Chun-Hao and bamboo artist Huang To-En, the Ming glasses are part of the Yii Collection. Combining the revered Chinese Dynasty past with the contemporary hipster present, the Ming glasses have definitely struck gold. At least, for me they have.
