Bayria Eyewear Celebrates The Bauhaus Movement

The Bauhaus, one of the main movements of the 20th century in architecture, art, and design, began as a school founded by Walter Gropius in Weimar in 1919. It promoted the idea that every object, from architecture to everyday tools, should balance form and function while adapting to industrial production. Its mission was to overcome the divide between fine and applied arts, creating a total work of art (Gesamtkunstwerk) and uniting artists and craftsmen in a new community without social barriers.

Today, the Bauhaus legacy continues to influence modern aesthetics. Bayria Eyewear, known since its inception for art applied to the highest Italian craftsmanship, reflects in its latest eyewear collection the colors, shapes, and vision of the movement that gave rise to the works of Kandinsky, Klee, Van der Rohe, and Breuer.

In the new collection, Bayria Eyewear innovatively reinterprets the use of color and shape through chromatic combinations and decorative patterns that play with the materiality of acetate. The acetate is molded into jagged fronts and transparency effects that reveal the metal core of the eyewear.

Ravennas – The frame reflects Kandinsky’s visual exploration, transforming an everyday accessory into an aesthetic statement. The extra-large model with pronounced, well-defined angles and an enveloping design is lightened by a delicate and thin nose bridge, balancing the boldness of the lenses and temples. The mottled acetate overlays multicolored tones on a transparent base, creating a dynamic and unique visual effect.

Stabiae – Hexagonal frame with jagged front achieved through a wave pattern in the acetate, which becomes transparent in the temples, revealing the metal core.

This new frames indeed reflect Kandinsky’s visual exploration, transforming a daily accessory into an aesthetic statement, creating a visual language that communicates directly with the soul. Extra-large models with pronounced, well-defined angles and an enveloping design are lightened by a delicate and thin nose bridge, balancing the boldness of the lenses and temples. The mottled acetate overlays shades of blue, brown, and yellow on a transparent base, creating a dynamic and unique visual effect. The color combination evokes a sense of movement and fluidity, recalling abstract art.

Varisium – Teardrop-shaped model with slightly rounded angles and a wave-patterned front that gives the frame a constant sense of movement. Bayria Eyewear plays with linear geometries animated by ethereal textures and distinctive details such as the thin, linear, gold double bridge that crosses the top of the frame. The temples reveal a metal core, further enhancing the aesthetic of the eyewear.

The wave pattern in the acetate is the unifying theme of this collection, which also includes statement aesthetic models like the hexagonal frame with a jagged front and an irregular round shape unique in its kind, with octagonal wave-shaped lenses and a violin-shaped temple reminiscent of Breuer’s creativity and his ability to transform industrial materials into elegant and functional design objects enriched with unique details.

Tres Moles – A unique irregular round model with octagonal wave-shaped lenses and a violin-shaped temple that recalls Breuer’s creativity and his ability to transform industrial materials into elegant and functional design objects enriched with unique details.

The Bayria Bauhaus collection is a tribute to the dreamlike vision and irreverent creativity of modernist artists, demonstrating how art and design can still influence fashion today in surprising ways.

Cossyra – Diva-style eyewear with a sixties flair in optical white acetate, lightened by tricolor temples. The eyewear reflects Kandinsky’s visual exploration, transforming a daily accessory into an aesthetic statement.

About Bayria Eyewear

Bayria Eyewear is a brand born in 2018. The concept is literally a homage to the city of Bari, starting with the name “Bayria,” an ancient name for the Apulian capital. Bayria brings to eyewear a mix of striking influences between stylistic avant-garde and the tradition of the Apulian capital and southern Italy in general, where the new and the old merge. Bayria Eyewear was born from the desire to create an original, aesthetically beautiful product based on design studies, but at the same time of the highest quality and functionality. The founder, Attilio Daniele, has worked for 40 years in the eyewear field. This background allowed him to study eyewear closely, observing the strategies of multinationals and industry companies. For this reason, the brand sought to produce a line that is immediately distinctive, yet at the same time extremely easy to wear. For Bayria Eyewear, design and fashion are a universe to draw from in order to look to the future, while following the dictates of elegance and quality. In addition to style and innovation, Bayria Eyewear’s mission is sustainability: respect for the land, the environment, and above all, human heritage. Bayria Eyewear is committed to the environment: the cellulose acetate used is 80% virgin, produced using fewer solvents, and designed to last over time. The frames are made in Italy in laboratories that ensure ethical work and respect for the land.
