Cari Zalloni (August 20, 1937– July 3, 2012) was an Austrian designer. He is well known as the creator and chief designer of Cazal Eyewear, an iconic and renowned eyewear brand.

Early Life and background

Cari Zalloni was born in Athens, Greece. His father was of Greek-Italian descent, while his mother was from Austria. His father passed away in 1947, while Cari was still a young boy, which led his mother to take him to Austria where he spent the years growing up to adulthood.[1]

Career

Cari Zalloni's design career started in 1960 after studying design at the Academy of Applied Arts in Vienna.[2] He initially designed furniture in Siena, Italy until 1962 when he moved to Germany to design decorative glassware.[3]

It was in Germany in 1975 that he first launched his iconic brand 'Cazal' eyewear, teaming up with entrepreneur Günter Böttcher,[4] which led him to be regarded as a designer who revolutionised the eyewear industry.[5] The name 'Cazal' originated by combining the first syllables from his first name (CAri) and last name (ZALloni).[6]

The Cazal became a cult brand following the 1980s onwards, with its unique style, use of precious material and precision craftsmanship, it has been worn by many rich and famous personalities especially in the music and entertainment industry as a statement piece.[7] Cazals remain a status symbol even today, with vintage frames so coveted that there have even been muggings and killings to obtain a pair and songs composed[8] about it, which shocked Zalloni when he came to know of it.[9]

Death

Cari Zalloni passed away in 2012 following complications from heart surgery.[10]
