4D Glasses

Not just content with being one of the finest children’s illustrators in the business, Oliver Jeffers has decided to turn to excellent jewellery designer Aaron Ruff to help him make something physical. To be more precise, a set of 4D glasses.

They will provide the opportunity to observe not only all 3 dimensions, but time as well, the fourth dimension. Thus making it possible to observe the future and the past in glorious techni-colour, from the comfort of your own living room. Their appearance will have the taste of an over elaborate set of binoculars, a pair of goggles and the multi filtered optometrists eye test machine, in the style of Jules Verne meets Jacques Cousteau, inside a 60s textbook. They’ll be sweet.

Pictured is another one of Oliver’s contraptions built in 2007…
