Malaparte — Modernist Capri
Where modernity meets the timeless allure of Capri’s Casa Malaparte. Inspired by the minimalist design and artistic ambiance of that legendary cliffside house, these sunglasses embody lightness, youthfulness, and contemporary style. Featuring a squared-off silhouette and modernist aesthetic, Malaparte offers both architectural composure and Mediterranean ease. Wearing Malaparte means embracing the spirit of artistic seclusion — an unhurried elegance shaped by sea, stone, and silence.
Craftsmanship & Materials
Each Malaparte Capri Blue is handmade in Italy, in the Veneto eyewear district, by skilled artisans following traditional techniques. The frame is cut and shaped from signature vintage Mazzucchelli acetate, a Lombard cellulose acetate prized since 1849 for depth of color and graining. The Zeiss blue lenses are mounted by hand and feature 100% UVA/UVB protection. Hinges are hand-riveted OBE components made in Germany — a small detail that distinguishes serious eyewear from mass production.
Limited Edition of 100
Berenford produces only 100 pieces of each model. Once sold out, the model is never reproduced. This is part of our philosophy: every Malaparte Capri Blue is a deliberate object, designed to last and to be remembered. Each pair ships in our signature blue handmade box with a vintage army-bag soft case, Argentine-style ribbons, a Zeiss-grade cleaning cloth, and a screwdriver for adjustments. Lens and initial-engraving customization available upon request.
Wearing & Care
Measurements (mm): Eye 52 · Bridge 17 · Temple 145. Clean with the included Zeiss-grade cloth and store in the army-bag case when not in use. Avoid leaving the frame in direct sun or on hot surfaces — acetate is a living material. For repairs, contact our atelier via info@berenford.ch.
