Meet the new limited edition capsule ‘Casa Batlló x Etnia Barcelona’

Etnia Barcelona, an independent eyewear brand known for its commitment to art, quality and colour, launches ‘Casa Batlló x Etnia Barcelona’, a capsule of limited edition sunglasses whose design is inspired by the most significant symbols of Antoni Gaudí’s work. With this new capsule, the brand manages to elevate the look with a unique, creative and sophisticated look.

Casa Batlló 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 exponents of Modernisme, a transformative artistic movement for the city due to its decorative exuberance, the explosion of colour and its characteristic sinuous and undulating lines. A lively and free art inspired by the organic forms of nature and breaking with previous norms.

Casa Batlló x Etnia Barcelona’ is an immersion into the Gaudí universe, a representation of the majesty of Casa Batlló. In this collaboration, the brand pays tribute to the artistic movement that has forged the city’s personality and invites us to enter this fantastic world inspired by nature.

Every corner of the Casa Batlló is present in this limited edition of sunglasses: the oval shape of the front that recreates the balconies, the texture of scales on the temples like the roof, the end caps inspired by the doorknobs, the gold-plated details of the frames and the chromatic palette of the collection. The capsule is made up of eight designs that are a single, numbered piece, where the most iconic symbols of Gaudí’s work can be found.

Moreover, Etnia Barcelona encapsulates a part of this masterpiece in an exclusive packaging that brings together all the essence of Gaudí and transports us to one of the most fascinating buildings of Modernisme.

This limited-edition sunglasses design also draws on the latest fashion trends: full-colour, oversized, with a super-trendy and exuberant front. Casa Batlló x Etnia Barcelona’ manages to become the most exclusive and creative piece in fashion today, while the Barcelona eyewear brand pays tribute to Modernisme and takes another step forward in its commitment to art, quality and colour.
