Looking Is Not Seeing
Milton Glaser received two-lifetime achievement awards from the Cooper Hewitt Museum and the Fulbright Association, and President Obama awarded him the National Medal of the Arts. In 1976, Glaser designed the I <3 NY logo, an enduring symbol for New York City that has since become the most imitated logo in history.
The Classic Specs X Milton Glaser frames were Milton’s first foray into product design and a true expression of innovation in eyewear. The limited edition collection was a mediation on the concept of “seeing” and the idea that what one believes and “sees” becomes their true perception of the world.
