Will you charge for adjusting these?
BERLIN (Reuters) - A German firm has begun offering sunglasses and prescription spectacles with detachable frame arms that double as chopsticks or forks.
The glasses designer says there is growing demand from time-pressured sushi fans eating their favorite food on the go.
"The idea came from the common need for cutlery at any time," said company director Ralph Anderl, who also uses his personal frames to eat the Japanese raw fish delicacy.
"Our so-called sushi specs have been a particular hit in Japan," he added.
The spectacle frames, costing from 270 euros ($330), are made from lightweight stainless steel and fit together without the use of screws. But diners may have trouble seeing their food as is not possible to wear the glasses when using the arms to eat with.
The Berlin based "ic!berlin" company has grown continuously since its launch in 1997. It sells its frames in around 1,000 opticians' shops across Europe, the U.S. and Japan. Opticians say the sushi specs "fly out of the shops."
