The Chroma collection is a new proposal from the eyewear brand Etnia Barcelona that plays with color, shape, and contrast in the frames. Oficina 200BIS directed the production of the collection catalog, aiming to visually reflect both Etnia’s identity and the artistic and design elements inherent in Chroma.
The catalog showcases the collection with photographs by Zhong Lin, a Malaysian-born photographer with a multicultural background who frequently collaborates with publications such as Vogue. Through the images, the artist blurs the boundaries between the abstract and the real, exploring color, volume, and texture to express the visual essence of the Chroma collection.
The catalog is printed using LED UV technology. The interior is printed in full color on Munken Lynx (Munken Paper) from Unión Papelera, and the cover consists of a cardboard wrapped with coated paper printed with two Pantone inks and finished with a scratch-resistant laminate. The endpapers are printed with a Pantone ink and acrylic varnish. The set is completed with a touch of color thanks to the painted corners and is bound in hardcover sewn with a flat spine and headbands.
