The Game: Worb
Capturing Warby Parker’s and Kill Screen’s love of design and entertainment, Worb hits the sweet spot of being both simple and fun. Its graphic elements are beautiful yet unexpected. The object of the game is to match and clear groups of like-colored balls in a bowl. The bowl is set on a work desk—ironically, a great place to play—that features made-up books with distracting titles (consider them a challenge!), a pair of good-looking glasses, and the always-important “tilt” button.
The Glasses: Burke in Glacier Grey
The limited-edition glasses, Burke in Glacier Bay (a best-selling frame reimagined in a new hue) are crafted from premium cellulose acetate and equipped with lenses that have anti-scratch and anti-reflective coatings—which conveniently reduce the glare from screens. (Score!) Inside the frame’s temple is an embossed Kill Screen logo in their signature red. Also included in the bundle is a custom lens pouch with artwork featuring the Kill Screen logo cleverly deconstructed into minimalist lines and shapes.
The Pairing: A Shared Love
Their not-too-serious attitudes, closely aligned creative spirits and a love of their products—glasses and games—made the collaboration between the two companies a logical and natural fit. The Kill Screen limited-edition glasses are a wonderfully tangible representation of both companies spirit of independence and innovation in their approaches to product design. Warby Parker co-CEO and co-founder, Neil Blumenthal, says, “We plan on getting fully addicted to this game.”
The Bonus: Giving is Good
As always, for every pair of frames sold, Warby Parker distributes a pair to someone in need.
