It is immediately clear that Claudia Brotons is not someone who is easily satisfied; beginning with her background. After graduating in Economy and Business at pompeu fabra university in Barcelona, and then attending fashion Design courses in the summer at Central Saint Martins in London, she began her career at Spanish fashion giant, Inditex, collaborating with zara and Massimo Dutti. To further develop her creative vision, she subsequently obtained a master's degree in Creative Direction and Art Direction at the Marangoni Institute in Milan and one in Accessories Design at the felicidad Duce in Barcelona. on her return to Inditex, she began designing accessories and it was then that Juan gassó, CEo of Kaleos and her life partner, convinced her to create a line of glasses that would fully reflect not only her care and attention to details but also her profound ethical values.

If there is destiny in a name what are the deep meaning and origins of Kaleos?
The deeper meaning and origins of the Kaleos name have everything to do with our DNA. Kaleos comes from the greek word for 'beautiful shape'. one of our key objectives is to find the connection between the shape and inherent beauty through the creation of statement pieces. The name Kaleos reflects our never-ending journey in discovering beauty in all kinds of frame shapes.

How are you celebrating your 10th anniversary and what are your considerations on this passage of time and the evolution of Kaleos design?
For us, it is a year dedicated to exploring, reflecting on, and honouring the history of time. over these past ten years, the company has experienced substantial growth, prompting us to initiate an annual global engagement initiative to give back to the world. Each year, we will develop a different concept as part of this engagement initiative. A portion of this engagement includes a donation (a percentage of revenue) to scientific research. We view contributing to research as giving back on a global scale. The theme for this year could be nothing other than the passage of time. Currently, we are exploring various proposals for donations to research into diseases affecting the elderly, such as Alzheimer's or dementia. our 360-communication strategy will see all our activities, content creation and events entirely related to the passage of time. from now on, each year will be related to a specific theme and commitment, and this time is everything time related.
