Introducing Barner, sustainable eyewear with soul
Look beyond the ordinary. Envision the extraordinary. - Barner
THE STORY
Based in Barcelona, Barner was founded in early 2017 by two friends, Edu & Ray. After living their lives totally immersed in the digital world, they identified a problem that was not only affecting them, but millions of people all around the globe: overexposure to blue light.
Edu and Ray's entrepreneurial spirit was inspired by their home city of Barcelona.
After hours and hours spent behind their computer screens, Edu & Ray realized there was something they could do about it, and so, Barner was born.
THE GOOD LIFE
Barner is named after Barcelona, or “Barna”, to the locals. "Barners" is the brand's way of referring to all the people that, in one way or another, are connected to Barcelona and live the Barcelona lifestyle wherever they are.
A Barner is someone who is full of positivity, energy, and an appreciation of the beautiful world around them; someone who lives the good life. Are you ready to become a "Barner"?
THE PRODUCT
Blue light glasses are specifically designed to protect our eyes against overexposure to the artificial blue light that is emitted by our digital devices.
In our busy digital lives, we all spend a lot of hours in front of our screens, and until very recently, we were doing this unprotected.
Now we have more information about the potential side effects, so it seems like a no-brainer to do everything we can to protect our vision.
THE COMMITMENT
At Barner they deeply believe that every company should be giving back to society. Why? Because if every single company did that, we would live in a much better world.
