I wanted to give my husband a unique gift that was also practical.  It then occurred to me that his recent obsession with Warby Parker glasses was leading to a messy, "where are my glasses?" apartment.  I scoured the internet for a classy glasses stand, and the best I could find was a plastic nose that held one pair of glasses.  So, I turned to Zaarly, and placed a request for a wood, multi-pair eyeglass stand.  Tobi responded, although he had never made one before, and built the first Bushakan product.  The very first stand had 7 pockets:

My husband was so excited about his gift that he shared a photo of the stand with his friends.  The response was so positive that Tobi and I decided "what the heck, let's help people out."  And, so Bushakan was born.
