Each Barriqule frame tells a unique story, intertwining Italian winemaking tradition with design innovation. At the heart of this story is oak, an extraordinary material that, thanks to its versatility and beauty, has found a second life in our creations.
The journey of the oak: from the barrel to the frame
Our wood comes from exhausted barriques, the barrels used to age fine wines. These oak containers are tasked with enriching the wine with unique aromas and nuances, giving complexity and character to the bottles we love so much. After years of service in the cellars, the barriques are approaching their final cycle. This is where Barriqule comes into play: instead of allowing this precious wood to be forgotten, we reclaim it and give it new life.
The process is a mix of craftsmanship and innovation. The barrels are disassembled and carefully worked on to preserve their grain, the marks of time, and the traces of their previous life. Each oak stave tells a story: the contact with the wine has left a unique patina, a tangible memory of the past.
A design that speaks of sustainability
The recovery of barrels is not just an aesthetic choice, but also a commitment to sustainability. Using reclaimed materials means reducing waste and giving value to resources that would otherwise be discarded. In a world increasingly aware of environmental impact, Barriqule positions itself as an example of responsible design.
But sustainability is not the only strength: it is the unique aesthetics of our frames that make them irresistible. Each piece is different from the other, with veins, colors, and textures that tell an unrepeatable story. When you wear a pair of Barriqule glasses, you carry with you a fragment of tradition and a symbol of innovation.
Uniqueness in the Hands of Artisans
Behind every frame are skilled hands working with passion. The artisans at Barriqule treat oak with respect, transforming it into elegant temples that perfectly complement the contemporary design of the frames. Their dedication ensures that each piece is not only beautiful but also comfortable and durable.
Why choose Barriqule?
Buying a pair of Barriqule glasses means choosing more than just a simple accessory. It means embracing a philosophy that combines the best of tradition and innovation. It means being part of a story that celebrates wine, design, and sustainability.
The next time you look at a wine barrel, think about its journey: from a tool for creating oenological masterpieces to a design element that you can carry with you every day. With Barriqule, oak lives a second life, richer and more fascinating than ever.
