Chroma by Etnia Barcelona: the bold innovation of colors and shapes
Etnia Barcelona once again makes waves with its premium collection Chroma, where color and volume take on a whole new dimension. The collection stands out with its daring contrasts between geometric shapes and varied textures, offering a true explosion of color. With its 14 eyeglass models, Chroma perfectly embodies the spirit of the Catalan brand: boldness, innovation, and masterful use of materials.
This collection is a vibrant tribute to the art of color, which is an integral part of Etnia Barcelona’s DNA, delivering a unique visual and stylistic experience.
A palette of colors to explore
The collection redefines the boundaries of shapes and colors in the eyewear world. The glasses are distinguished by bold geometric shapes where volumes are pronounced, adding a touch of originality and sophistication. Materials like transparent or solid opalescent acetates are meticulously crafted to create striking contrasts. Among the standout pieces, cat-eye models take center stage, symbolizing the perfect balance between femininity and audacity.
Each model in the collection is designed with particular attention to detail, including the raw finish that gives each pair a unique character. The engraved logo inside each temple, with variations in color, adds a personalized and refined touch, enhancing the exclusive aspect of the collection.
Spring-Summer 2025 Highlights
Chroma SS25: A Bold and Bright Sunglass Collection
For Spring-Summer 2025, Etnia Barcelona expands its premium Chroma line with six new styles, including four sunglasses—a first for the collection—and two optical frames. Staying true to its geometric design language, the new models are individually numbered and conceived as collector’s items.
The color palette remains faithful to the brand’s identity: bold contrasts, refined textures, and innovative acetates. Each frame features Barberini HD mineral lenses, offering high-definition clarity and optimal UV protection.
An immersive visual campaign with Zhong Lin
To elevate the launch of Chroma, Etnia Barcelona collaborated with renowned photographer Zhong Lin. Known for her ability to blur the lines between reality and abstraction, Lin immerses us in a visually rich universe full of emotions. Through a series of striking images, the campaign features color as a protagonist in its own right. Each scene is defined by a dominant color—red, orange, pink, or blue—and explores how color influences our perception of the world around us.
High-quality materials and artisanal craftsmanship
What makes Etnia Barcelona famous, beyond its daring designs, is its dedication to quality in the manufacturing of each pair of glasses. With the Chroma collection, this attention to detail is evident through the use of carefully selected natural materials. Etnia Barcelona uses high-quality natural acetates produced by the renowned Italian manufacturer Mazzucchelli, ensuring exceptional strength, durability, and lightness. Natural acetate is known not only for its robustness but also for its ability to maintain vibrant colors over time.
The models in the collection are distinguished by the use of acetates in a wide color palette, ranging from opalescent and semi-translucent shades to solid colors. These visual contrasts create a depth effect and highlight the craftsmanship required to work with these complex materials. Each frame is carefully polished to achieve a distinctive raw finish, underscoring the unique character of each pair.
HD mineral lenses for perfect vision
Beyond design, Etnia Barcelona incorporates cutting-edge technologies into the lenses of its glasses. The models are equipped with HD mineral lenses, an optical glass technology that ensures optimal visual clarity and precision. Mineral lenses are made from natural materials, making them more scratch-resistant than traditional plastic lenses. They also offer superior vision quality by reducing reflections and enhancing contrast—an essential asset for those seeking clear and comfortable visual experiences.
“Etnia Barcelona is the result of three generations' heritage. [...] We brought color to a product that until then was almost exclusively black or brown. We are pioneers in the study of colors with over 500 references inspired by the worlds of fashion and art” (AOP UK - Etnia Barcelona).
Commitment to ecology and sustainability
Etnia Barcelona also stands out for its commitment to sustainable and responsible practices. The brand prides itself on using eco-friendly materials in its eyewear production. The acetate used in the collection is natural, derived from cotton cellulose and wood pulp, making it a renewable and biodegradable material. This ethical approach aligns perfectly with Etnia Barcelona’s values, which blend innovation with respect for the environment in its production processes.
By opting for environmentally friendly materials and production processes that minimize ecological impact, Etnia Barcelona proves that it’s possible to combine creativity, quality, and ecological responsibility. This allows the brand to meet the growing expectations of consumers looking for products that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also environmentally responsible.
