Gaudi
*Simply send us a photo of your prescription and we'll do the rest*
World famous architect, Antoni Gaudí used hemp. In the planning of La Sagrada Familia, Gaudí hung hemp ropes attached to lead-filled sacks from the ceiling. This allowed him to reproduce the curves of the church at smaller scale. Guadí also used hemp canvas sheets to imitate the vaults and walls of church.
Gaudi is a slightly oversized panto shape with subtle keyhole bridge.
