Most people who wear spectacles either end up wearing the same pair all the time or spend a fortune on several different pairs. Japanese design group, Nendo, has come up with a third alternative. The companies spectacles design does away with screws, and uses magnets instead to hold the arms in place. The upshot of this is that arms become interchangeable, enabling owners to change the look, colour and style without buying a new pair of glasses.

I haven’t seen anything like this in the UK yet, so maybe that could be something to look into. Thinking more broadly, are there other items which are typically worn, and which could be given a modular makeover like this? I’ve seen modular flip-flops in the past. Anything else?
