Belgium frame firm Theo is launching retro-inspired frames by creating its own version of the prevailing 'nerd trend', VinGtage, with a tongue in cheek influence of mathematics.
There are four titanium designs and five acetates in sparkling colours, all of which carry mathematical symbols. The bicoloured VinGtage models can be recognised by the mathematical symbols on the fronts and the sidepieces which contrast sharply with the frame. Symbols for division, intersection, absolute value and square root are used.
