A tribute to Eileen Gray

Following the capsule collections inspired by Frida Kahlo and Elsa Schiaparelli, Catuma pays homage to the modern vanguard of Eileen Gray, another strong woman who changed history with her very being, her art, and her going beyond the confines of the usual. “E- 1027 Tribute to Eileen Gray” is a capsule collection whose name derives from her first architectural project, the villa on the French Riviera that she conceived together with her partner at that time, architect Jean Badovici: E stands for Eileen, 10 for the J of Jean (the tenth letter of the alphabet), 2 for the B of Badovici, and 7 for the G of Gray. With a limited edition of just 100, the collection presents a round frame, made more dynamic by alternating full and empty spaces thanks to decorative steel spirals integrated in cork and gold leaf inserts. The temple tips are in violet acetate to adapt perfectly to any face. The Eileen Gray capsule collection is a preview of the “ArTchitecture” collection that Catuma will present at Mido 2016.
