THE STORY

Through Gianluca Gualandi’s vision, Talla does more than tell the story of a journey; it embodies it. Wearing a Talla frame means wearing something that was designed far away, has lived everywhere, and was crafted with care.

The Origins

THE LEGACY | From the sports field to the workshop

It all began in Bologna. “Talla” was the nickname people shouted to Gianluca Gualandi on the football pitches. Today, that name has become his signature. From his Italian roots, he retains a taste for movement, precision, and authenticity.

LA VISION | The optician who became a designer

Before designing, Gianluca studies. For years, he observes thousands of faces, then founded Talla Eyewear in 2016 with one conviction: a frame is not a neutral accessory. It is an object shaped by encounters, travels, and cultural influences.

EXPERTISE | Analyze. Decide. Master.

The rigor of sport is reflected in every stage of the creative process. Talla Eyewear seeks neither excess nor understatement. Each frame strikes the perfect balance between individuality and restraint, artisanal tradition and absolute modernity.

COMMITMENT | Existing with integrity

Choosing Talla means choosing an object designed to last and adapt to its wearer. A discreet, precise, and confident presence.

Philosophy

By choosing to subtract rather than add, we do not create a void, but a space where the object or emotion can finally breathe. Intuition plays the role of a compass here: it helps avoid cold, rigid minimalism and move toward something more organic, more human. It is the art of knowing exactly when to stop so that the natural beauty of a material or an idea can take up all the space.

Born in Bologna, shaped in Hong Kong, and created in Paris, Talla Eyewear is a visual dialogue between these three cities, forging an instinctive, recognizable identity that defies categorization, rooted in Italian instinct, the energy of Hong Kong, and Parisian elegance.
