Eye-Catching Design for Kirk Originals London Flagship Optical Store.

Optical retailer Kirk Originals has just opened their new London flagship store. Located on Conduit street and designed by Campaign Design, the store design has both great curb appeal with it's eye-catching window display and is inviting and witty on the interior.









Reflecting on the brand’s heritage and principles, the designers created an installation of lenticular printed eye sculptural heads, each carrying a unique frame, ‘winking’ playfully at customers and passers-by. Meanwhile, the monochromatic blue-grey palette on the background makes the display pop.





The centrally located store stocks all Kirk's ranges, but also selected lines by independent eyewear brands exclusive to Kirk Originals in the UK.

The RbG Rainbow Eyeglasses By Luis Porem.

An unusual and interesting design concept for glasses from Luis Porem. The frame of his RbG Rainbow glasses are designed as a hollow structure in which colorful ink can be poured to give the clear frames a splash of color. Made of transparent plastic, the flexible part of the temple arm can be filled with water-based ink.
