Presented during Milan Fashion Week , the spring summer 24 capsule collection was developed in a meticulous creative process between the
Alexandre Birman brand, the Lina e PM Bardi Institute and ETEL . The collection unites art, one of Alexandre Birman's pillars, with the memorable legacy of the Italian-Brazilian architect, in a
capsule that pays homage to Lina Bo Bardi with never-before-seen pieces .

Taking care to capture the essence of Lina's architectural vision, Alexandre Birman developed three sandal models that represent, respectively,
a tribute to the architect's iconic masterpieces, namely: The Rocking Chair, the Ball Chair, and the Tea Cart. (Giovanni A. Mocchetti / CASACOR)
The
Rocking mule is a sandal with two padded suede straps, a metallic heel and a wooden sole, which, with a minimalist finish, references the modernist aesthetic used by the architect.
The
Bola Sandal perfectly reflects the design of the chair of the same name; the highlight is a robust golden ball at the tip of the heel, which contrasts with the Vacchetta leather on the upper.

Finally, the
Trolley Sandal is the tea trolley version on heels, a masterpiece sandal with angular lines on the upper, which perfectly harmonize with the wooden heel, a sculpture in itself. The collaboration was made possible thanks to a partnership with ETEL, a renowned Brazilian design manufacturer that has been producing iconic furniture for over 30 years.
