For creatives, inspiration can strike anytime and anywhere. Sometimes, it seems like the most curious things spark incredible ideas—be it a strange looking branch, a beautiful line in a song or a touching moment with a family member. For independent eyewear brand
TAVAT, design inspiration comes from the iconic shape of a soup can.
TAVAT’s SoupCan collection came to life when the company’s designer, Norm Schureman, visited a friend in Arizona. According to TAVAT’s website, it was a poster from the 1930s that sparked the idea.

BLAIR, Neb.—
Vision Care Clinic was started over 40 years ago by Dr. Morris "Ike" Kuhlmann and now has 10 locations in western Iowa. Now owned by ODs Alex Benner, Steve Brownmiller, Scott Bowker and Keith Schrunk, the clinic has just moved its Blair location to a once beloved local library on 210 S 17th Street. The building, which has also been there for over 40 years, has been modified to fit its new function, but still remains a local treasure, with Vision Care Clinic’s patients appreciating the larger parking area compared to the limited one in the former location.
