Paloceras, the Defiant: A Brand Born from Refusal
Paloceras wasn’t created to follow industry rules—it was born from rejection. A rejection of fleeting trends and predictable standards. Founded by Mika Matikainen (Creative Director) and Alexis Perron-Corriveau (Design Director), the brand is built on the belief that objects should carry a trace, an intention—even a tension.
“The world is full of perfectly executed objects that are completely hollow. We wanted something else. Something with a soul.”
— Mika Matikainen, Helsinki, March 2025
Paloceras breaks away from traditional seasonal cycles. Its logic is not that of fashion, but of material that resists, of ideas formed under pressure, and of craftsmanship that anchors the ephemeral in the real. This philosophy lives in every frame—each one designed as a standalone piece, built to endure, to leave a mark, and to evolve with the person who wears it.
A Hybrid Design Method: Between Algorithms and Artisans
What sets Paloceras apart is also its creative process. Here, design doesn’t begin with a sketch, but with digital matter in motion. Through computational simulations and generative design, shapes emerge in a virtual environment before being handed over to skilled artisans.
“We didn’t draw the Pebble collection. We watched it come to life.”
— Alexis Perron-Corriveau, Lisbon, March 2025
This philosophy of “revelation” is what gives Paloceras eyewear its distinctly organic and sculptural feel. The volumes are often exaggerated—almost inflated—yet never arbitrary. They reflect a deliberate formal intention, amplified by flawless craftsmanship using Mazzucchelli acetate—a premium material made from cotton fibers, used across all frames.
The Pebble 2025 Collection: Sculpted Forms, Infinite Tones
Launched for the Spring/Summer 2025 season, the Pebble collection stands as Paloceras’s creative cornerstone. It unfolds through four distinct silhouettes:
Each model is crafted from 8mm-thick acetate and meticulously laminated using DualBlend™, a proprietary technology that enables the seamless fusion of two color layers. The result? Chromatic transitions with exceptional depth and nuance.
New 2025 Colors: A Sensory Exploration
Among the ten new shades revealed for 2025 are:
Velvet Rouge: a polished, richly pigmented red
Lilac Dream: a milky, hazy lilac
Pistachio Green: an unexpected, vibrant green
Galaxy Glaze: cosmic black with subtle reflections
Enchanted Sage: a matte, serene sage green
These colors aren’t simply applied—they are composed, layered with the precision of fine craftsmanship. As the Design Director explains,
“These shades weren’t chosen. They emerged.”
