Swanky Luxe


Eyeglasses, Portland, Maine, USA

We were at a cute little basement club in Portland, Maine several years ago and spied these glasses just sitting on the bar. In a bar, it's often the case that you can't see far, with or without glasses. In this case, the glasses are blurry while the surroundings are crisp. Perhaps that is because the camera was not imbibing.

The glasses above are reminiscent of the Populuxe (Mid-Century Modern era). Although not seen in the picture of the glasses, the Formica-topped bar had an amazing Mid-Century Modern pattern.
