ERA & DESIGN SIGNIFICANCE

Claudio Carlotti pieces were known for bold silhouettes, heavy ornamentation, and luxury detailing — competing in the same European design wave as early Cazal, Carrera, and French couture eyewear houses of the late 70s / early 80s.

The STRATOS-BIS is a true statement shield.

Architectural. Structured. Glamorous.

This style does not come to market often — especially unworn.
