Colaboração com o Arquitecto Siza Vieira
Sendo os óculos um objeto rígido, necessita adaptar-se perfeitamente ao rosto e tornar-se assim uma parte mecânica do corpo.
–
A colaboração com Álvaro Siza Vieira, nome maior da Arquitetura contemporânea, é o resultado da inegável conexão entre a VAVA e a obra do Siza Vieira, criador de muitos edifícios icónicos dos últimos 50 anos.
Este compromisso traduz-se numa “capsule collection” de óculos de edição limitada/numerada e uma outra de produção continua. Facto que não pode deixar de ser celebrado ao nível de um galardoado com o Prémio Pritzker de Arquitetura em 1992.
VAVA – Marca de óculos Portuguesa
Os óculos VAVA têm um look sofisticado, contemporâneo e urbano. São subtilmente futuristas, conceptuais e intemporais.
O lema da VAVA é oferecer um produto de alta qualidade que engloba a experiencia, conhecimento e arte dos grandes mestres Italianos de óculos feitos à mão. Conhecimento que se está a perder num tempo em que a produção à mão floresce e domina o uso de materiais de pouca qualidade.
Esta aproximação, combinada com o uso de materiais da mais alta qualidade torna a VAVA única.
Coleção disponível na André Óticas a partir de Janeiro 2019
