Proof Eyewear has some slick wood style glasses and sunglasses to fit your sustainable wood needs. Each are hand crafted from sustainable source wood. My favorite style so far is the
Boise ($90), a slim, sleek and traditional style frame. The wood used in these frames are sustainably sourced making them environmentally friendly. Each frame is polished and coated with a water/sweat protective layer.
Proof not only strives to give back to the environment, they also strive to help those in need. A portion of each sale goes to non profit charities Proof believes in. Proof works with nonprofits in India that provide sight giving surgeries to people with cataracts.
(Proof RX frames are prescription ready, meaning you can use them with the clear lens they come with or take them to a local eye care professional to have your prescription filled.)

We all know and love
Pringles, but we also know those cylindrical canisters can be a hassle. You never get a handful of chips every time you put your hand down the tube or you end up with chip fragments at the very end. Who likes chip fragments?
Young designers Dohyuk Kwon, Kim Seok-woo, Seo Dong-Han, In Sung-hoonm, and Lee Bum-ho didn't like the current packaging, so they came up with there conceptual
Bloom Chip potato chip container. It may look like a regular old Pringles can, but when the paper band is removed; it blooms into a shape that makes a chip bowl. This conceptual idea though only makes this bloom practical for a single-serving can since you can not close up the bloom container. The design though was so clever that it ended up winning the
Red Dot Design Award.
So how practical do find this design?

The Elk Bike Hanger ($294) is carved at different angles out of solid Oak wood, and is designed to let the user mount the bike in three steps; lift the bike, shift the rear of the bike upwards and into the Elk, then let the bike rest securely into the wooden device.
