VAVA – Siza Vieira

Collaboration with Architect Álvaro Siza Vieira

As glasses are a rigid object, they need to fit perfectly to the face and become a mechanical part of the body.

The collaboration with Álvaro Siza Vieira, a leading figure in contemporary architecture, is the result of the undeniable connection between VAVA

and the work of Siza Vieira, creator of many iconic buildings from the last 50 years.

This partnership is reflected in a “capsule collection” of limited/numbered edition eyewear and another collection of continuous production.

This is a fact that deserves to be celebrated, as Siza Vieira was awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1992.

VAVA – Portuguese Eyewear Brand

VAVA glasses have a sophisticated, contemporary, and urban look. They are subtly futuristic, conceptual, and timeless.

VAVA’s motto is to offer a high-quality product that encompasses the experience, knowledge, and artistry of the great Italian masters

of handcrafted eyewear. This knowledge is being lost in a time when handmade production is flourishing, yet dominated by the use of low-quality materials.

This approach, combined with the use of the highest quality materials, makes VAVA unique.

The collection will be available at André Opticas from January 2019.
