Olefsen Art Opticals | Handmade Eyeglass Frames – Laurie Olefson of Olefson Design creates artistic, custom glasses and readers for those of you looking for something a bit outside the box when it comes to your eyewear. This unique line of handmade glasses frames features artful, wearable styles that can easily be fitted with prescription lenses from your optician—so they’re just as functional as they are stylish.

Olefson Design creates each of its frames entirely by hand—something that is virtually unheard of in the world of eyeglasses—and their “art opticals” are equal parts accessories and functional eyewear. They can even be made with sunglasses and readers if you aren’t a full time wearer of glasses.

Stop by and see these amazing designs for yourself!
