Calyx for
Cata Vassalo
In a separate ode to a flower that unites and protects, Calyx emerges as a reinterpretation of an iconic design by André Opticas, adorned with exquisite details from a bestselling design by Cata Vassalo, resulting in a luxury model that blends style and elegance.
Through this union, an exclusive eyewear model was born, limited to 20 units, each numbered from 1 to 20. Calyx is a reinterpretation of an iconic André Opticas design, originally created for the Visionaries video, in celebration of the brand’s 40th anniversary.
With an oversized front in transparent acetate, these glasses, inspired by nature, uniqueness, and the most organic shapes, are the result of a 100% Portuguese collaboration. Adorned with the golden flowers immortalised in the iconic Jasmine earrings, this eyewear model is a work of art that combines the sophistication and delicacy of jewellery with the functionality and style of luxury optics.
Each piece is a tribute to artisanal mastery, where every detail is carefully considered and executed. The result is a luxury accessory that transcends mere utility, becoming a statement of style and elegance, offering a unique signature that reflects each person’s individuality.
This collaboration is rooted in the symbiosis between the signature functionality and style of our brand and the refined, elegant touch that is so characteristic of Cata Vassalo. Beyond ensuring a unique and unmistakable style, this piece reflects our commitment to blending innovation with the tradition of a brand that has been established in the market for many years.
At Cata Vassalo, we see and feel accessories as crowns, meant to empower and represent those who wear them. With André Opticas, a brand we admire and with whom we share core values, we sought to design a crown in the form of glasses. We aim for it to be a statement piece that leaves an impression on whoever wears it and also signifies the beginning of this friendship and collaboration between our brands.
