Etnia Barcelona Releases Limited-Edition Felipe Pantone Eyewear Collection

Etnia Barcelona and artist Felipe Pantone have released a limited-edition eyewear collection comprising 1,000 numbered units. The collaboration features two models with interchangeable temples, allowing users to modify the frames using a specially designed key. One temple option utilizes chromatic gradients created by laminating different colored acetates, reflecting Pantone’s digital aesthetic, while the second incorporates a moiré pattern that shifts perception based on viewing angle. Available from October 1, 2026, the collection is sold through Etnia Barcelona’s own channels—including its website, flagship store, and pop-up store—as well as selected authorized optical retailers internationally.

Spanish eyewear brand Etnia Barcelona has announced a collaboration with Argentine-Spanish artist Felipe Pantone, scheduled for release in October. The partnership introduces the "Etnia Barcelona X Felipe Pantone Ltd Edition," a numbered run of 1,000 sunglasses pieces. The design features an interchangeable temple system offering two distinct options developed by both teams. One variant utilizes chromatic gradients created through complex lamination of multi-coloured acetates to reflect Pantone’s digital aesthetic. The second option incorporates an optical motif inspired by his signature moiré effect, generating visual depth and movement depending on the viewing angle. This launch extends Pantone’s work from murals and sculptures into the eyewear sector, aligning with Etnia Barcelona’s focus on creative experimentation.
