Etnia Barcelona, in collaboration with Simbòlic, launches ‘Casa Batlló x Etnia Barcelona’, a limited edition of sunglasses inspired by the main symbols of Antoni Gaudí’s work.
Casa Batlló x Etnia Barcelona’ is inspired by Casa Batlló, one of the most emblematic buildings in the city of Barcelona, a World Heritage Site, and one of the greatest exponents of Modernisme, an artistic movement that transformed the city with its decorative exuberance, explosion of colors and characteristic sinuous, undulating lines. A vibrant, free art inspired by the organic forms of nature.

Casa Batlló x Etnia Barcelona is a co-creation between Etnia Barcelona and Simbòlic. It represents the majesty of Casa Batlló and offers an immersion in Gaudí’s universe. This collaboration pays tribute to the artistic movement that has shaped 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, which recreates the balconies, the texture of the scales of the bars such as the roof, the terminal inspired by the pompons of the doors, the details of the frame bathed in gold and the chromatic palette of the collection. This limited and numbered edition comprises twenty designs, including the most iconic symbols of Gaudí’s work.
Casa Batlló x Ètnia Barcelona’ is a tribute to Modernism and a further step in the brand’s commitment to art, quality, and color.
Casa Batlló x Ètnia Barcelona’ is available at selected opticians, at Etnia Barcelona’s flagship store, and on the websites of Etnia Barcelona and Simbòlic, Casa Batlló’s official store.
