Favorite artist of the moment: TEN HUNDRED

We LOVE visual art and currently have a huge “artist crush” on TEN HUNDRED right now! 

If you wish to see these incredible animated works in the real, he currently has his work up at SURFACE THEORY  in Pioneer Square for the rest of July- its worth the visit!

AND THEN, follow him on the various social media outlets of your choice:

Now for something fresh: NAO NED frame arrivals!

We always get a bit excited when we receive another shipment from Parisian designer NAO NED. Look at these! How can we not? NAO NED is one of those independent collections whose distinct curation we really appreciate- it straddles the line between funky/quirky & classically tailored.

Getting to know your EOF Optician: A few of Elizabeth’s Favorite Things

Optician: Elizabeth aka “Gus”

How long with EOF: 6 1/2 years

EOF specialty: Elizabeth has been a dispensing optician for 10 years; her laid-back, friendly attitude makes her a natural with a diversity of customers/patients. She is proficient with her hands and enjoys handling the bulk of our lab work! She IS the one who makes your glasses!






What Gus can’t live without: Having a deep appreciation of the esoteric world, she is specifically inspired by things like sacred geometry and platonic solids. Gus loves studying patterns and symmetry in nature, and finds solace in spiritual elements in Buddhism, such as the Green Tara- Bodhisattva of “compassion in action”.
