Costa Donates Fish Art

On ocean flats, backyard ponds, and river environments we typically think of sunglasses first for spotting fish. Costa Sunglasses recently flipped the switch, taking objects of our visual lustings and recreating them out of lenses, hinges, frame arms, nose pads, side shields, and retainer cord segments as mounted fish sculptures—featuring a tarpon, blue marlin, and a bass. Each fish was built using the sunglass lens color and frame technology necessary to catch the particular species.

“For the tarpon sculpture, more than 150 Costa 580™ silver mirror and gray lenses were used to illustrate the scales. The fish also features frame arms to shape the fins and mouth, with a Costa ‘C’ logo accentuating its eye.”

Costa has donated its tarpon fish sculpture to the International Game Fish Association (IGFA) to be put on display inside its Fishing Hall of Fame & Museum. The blue marlin is set to hang with The Billfish Foundation (TBF). To see a behind-the-scenes video of how the Costa fish sculptures were built, click here.
