Beginning in 1960, Vienna where he studied, it wasn't until 1962 that he began designing. First in Siena, Italy to design furniture. Then, shifting to Germany to design decorative glass. It wasn't until 1975 that Cazal was incepted. Combining CA[ri] Zal[loni], and with the financing of an entrepreneur by the name of Gunter Bottacher, Cazal found its wheelhouse as a great revolutionizer. From then 'til upon his death in 2012, the man produced designs that every eyewear aficionado adores. There isn't one collector that doesn't possess a favorite of the Cazal universe. Frankly, those favorites usually stem in the 1980s.

Zalloni designs personified the NYC hiphop scene with styles that were fit to match an appearance unique to that era and culture. Various series found such suit and remain en vogue to this day!
