Paloceras, the eyewear house exploring “Fantasy Eyewear”

Paloceras is an eyewear brand founded in 2022 near Geneva, now operating with a design atelier in Lisbon and an office in Helsinki. Defined by the philosophy of “Fantasy Eyewear,” the label creates sculptural frames shaped digitally before being produced in small, deliberate editions.

What is the history and identity of Paloceras in the eyewear world?

Established by award-winning designers Alexis Perron-Corriveau and Mika Matikainen, Paloceras positions itself between digital imagination and refined craftsmanship. Each piece begins as a virtual concept and materializes into limited runs. The brand operates between Lisbon and Helsinki, with private showrooms in New York, Lisbon, Helsinki, and Ferrol. It has been featured in major fashion outlets such as Vogue and Grazia, while its founders have been recognized by global design leaders.

What materials and aesthetic codes define Paloceras eyewear?

The Pebble collection is crafted in 8 mm Mazzucchelli acetate with DualLayer™ lamination, gold-plated Visottica core wire and 5-barrel hinges. Lenses are CR39 with backside anti-reflective coating and 100% UV protection. Paloceras designs are sculptural, with bold volumes and layered colorways such as Lilac Dream, Havana Gold, and Galaxy Glaze, recognizable both in still images and in motion.

Which collections and product segments does Paloceras offer?

The brand’s portfolio centers on the Pebble collection — offered in RX (round), SX (square), DX (diamond-like angular) and VX (aviator-inspired) silhouettes — and extends to Bespoke Eyewear, made to order, including Spider Pebble™ and the Ocular Rebellion program. Textile accessories (scarves) complement the eyewear lines.

How does Paloceras design and manufacture its eyewear? Is there any documented sustainability commitment?

Paloceras design starts in a digital environment, where shapes are generated and tested virtually, then brought to life in Mazzucchelli acetate with dedicated hardware. Pebble models are developed in Lisbon and shipped from the EU; bespoke frames are handmade in a London atelier. As of publication, Paloceras has not released a detailed sustainability policy; the brand highlights instead limited editions, traceable materials, and high-end construction.

Where and how is Paloceras eyewear distributed?

Paloceras sells online with worldwide express shipping, taxes and duties included, alongside a virtual try-on service. Physical distribution relies on a selective network of independent retailers across Europe (France, Italy, Greece, Finland, Germany, Spain), North America (USA, Mexico), and Australia. Private showrooms in Helsinki, Lisbon, Ferrol, and New York operate by appointment.

What is Paloceras’ positioning in the eyewear market?

Paloceras occupies a premium independent design segment: Mazzucchelli acetate frames with Visottica hardware and CR39 lenses, intentional limited editions, price points around €430 for Pebble and €945 for bespoke, selective distribution, and international fashion press coverage.
