FROM YESTERDAY
TOTOMORROW
We look to the future without forgetting the past. New look, new materials, new markets, but always
remaining true to our origin.
The brand has gone far in ten years and this remains our goal:
FROM BARCELONAINTO THE WORLD
Sketches are made that lead to the first Zen Barcelona designs.
Zen Barcelona’s first collection is presented at the Silmo Trade Fair in Paris.
Both our way of seeing the world and our frames extend to Brazil and the United States.
Zen Barcelona designs are released to European markets.
The brand consolidated its position in the market with 70 new models every year.
THE PILLARS OF ZEN
PURE CONCEPT
All Zen designs are designed and created entirely in Barcelona by our team of designers in a process that typically takes about six months.
A TALENT FOR PRODUCTION
We work with different materials, either individually or combined, to create innovative models with
stunning finishes that are, above all, comfortable.
DISCIPLINE IN THE DETAILS
We improve, revise, and rethink each design from the first sketch to the final prototype. Only then can we
ensure excellence.
ONGOING INNOVATION
We are constantly researching new materials, combinations, shapes and
techniques to offer new solutions and finishes with each collection.
COLLECTIONS
BARCELONA COLLECTION
THE CITY IS PART OF EACH MODEL
Barcelona’s streets, squares and parks inspire the names for each of our models. This is our way of inviting everyone to take a stroll down
Las Ramblas and Diagonal.
The collection is updated four times a year, and special lines that explore a specific concept and material are also designed.

THE IDEA
THE BALANCE FOUND IN NATURAL SHAPES INSPIRES AND FASCINATES US
We capture the purity of the wood grain in this collection. An irreverent commitment for those who live life
naturally.
THE CREATION
PROPERTIES OF ACETATE WITH A WOOD FINISH
But a series of tests demonstrated its low resistance and rapid deterioration.
We created the wood finish as a result: the romantic touch and look of wood with
the properties of acetate.

THE IDEA
LIGHTWEIGHT GLASSES FOR RELAXED PEOPLE
An upbeat collection that reflects the young and daring spirit of Zen people.
Imaginative, colorful, and bold designs that fit with a carefree lifestyle. Frames that
break the routine and fill the day with color.
THE CREATION
PURE MINIMALIST RESISTANCE
Extremely lightweight laminated acetate frames with surprising shapes
unsuitable for serious people. The acetate is reinforced with an extra-fine steel skeleton to maintain the brand’s
standards of quality and durability.

THE IDEA
FUNCTIONAL BEAUTY
An eyewear collection synonymous with elegance. Designs which reflect styles inspired by icons like Audrey Hepburn, Catherine Deneuve and Gregory Peck reinterpreted in functional shapes and details that are as simple as they are
stunning.
THE CREATION
LASER ENGRAVED MOTIFS
An elegant frame is impossible without fine materials. So we chose steel: hardness and durability combined with laser engraved
finishing and two-tone details.

THE IDEA
THE EYEWEAR OF TOMORROW

designs created for people who break the mold and choose innovation.
THE CREATION
THE REVOLUTION OF SMART MATERIALS
A moldable and smart laminated polyamide based on the revolutionary
Tecnomol, combined with colored steel in the frame for flexible, unique and durable
glasses.
