‘Casa Batllรณ x Etnia Barcelona’ capsule
Etnia Barcelona launches ‘Casa Batllรณ x Etnia Barcelona’, a limited-edition capsule of sunglasses inspired by the most significant symbols of Antoni Gaudรญ’s work.
With this new capsule collection, the brand elevates the look with a unique, creative, and sophisticated vision.
‘Casa Batllรณ x Etnia Barcelona’ is inspired by one of the most emblematic buildings in the city of Barcelona, a World Heritage Site, and one of the greatest examples of Modernism, an artistic movement transformative for the Catalan capital due to its decorative exuberance, explosion of color, and characteristic sinuous and undulating lines. A living and free art inspired by the organic forms of nature, breaking with previous norms.
Casa Batllรณ x Etnia Barcelona’ is an immersion into the Gaudinian universe, a representation of the majesty of Casa Batllรณ.
In this collaboration, the brand pays homage to the artistic movement that has shaped the personality of the city and invites us to delve into this fantastical world inspired by nature.ย
Every corner of Casa Batllรณ is present in this limited edition of sunglasses: the oval shape of the front that recreates the balconies, the scaly texture of the temples like the roof, the temple tips inspired by the door-knobs, the gold-plated details of the frame, and the color palette of the collection. The capsule consists of eight unique and numbered designs, featuring the most iconic symbols of Gaudรญ’s work.
Additionally, Etnia Barcelona encapsulates a part of this masterpiece in exclusive packaging that captures the essence of Gaudรญ and transports us to one of the most fascinating buildings of Modernism.ย
This limited-edition sunglass design also draws from the latest fashion trends: they are vibrant, oversized sunglasses with a highly trendy and exuberant front. ‘Casa Batllรณ x Etnia Barcelona’ manages to become the most exclusive and creative piece of current fashion, while the Barcelona eyewear brand pays tribute to Modernism and takes another step forward in its commitment to art, quality, and color.ย
