Paloceras Hydroceras: 3D-Printed Glasses That Freeze Water in Motion

Paloceras Hydroceras: 3D-Printed Glasses That Freeze Water in Motion

Paloceras Hydroceras is the latest release redefining eyewear design. Introduced in September 2025, this limited-edition collection captures the essence of water in motion, suspended in a frame through advanced 3D printing and algorithmic design. The result is eyewear that feels more like sculpture than accessory, blurring the line between technology, art, and fashion. Available in two striking colorways—Cryosea and Noctyra—Hydroceras embodies the union of digital innovation and optical craftsmanship. Every pair represents a frozen current, a living flow captured in time, ready to be worn. For those who see eyewear not only as function but as identity and expression, Hydroceras brings a new dimension to the act of wearing glasses.

Paloceras Hydroceras : When Water Becomes Eyewear Design

Hydroceras takes Paloceras’s philosophy further: exploring the space between what is visible and what is felt. The concept is simple yet powerful—turning water into an object you can wear. Each frame is shaped as if a wave or a stream had been stopped mid-motion.
Design Director Alexis Perron-Corriveau explains: “With Hydroceras, we wanted to shape eyewear like a living current. It’s about capturing movement and holding it still long enough to be worn.”
The outcome is a set of fluid, translucent forms that carry both the elegance of nature and the precision of geometry—eyewear that becomes sculpture.

Two Colorways, Two Visual Worlds

Hydroceras Cryosea: The Crystalline Flow

Cryosea comes in a translucent blue inspired by frozen oceans. It evokes the velocity of water beneath ice and the crystalline purity of glacial landscapes. Futuristic yet elemental, Cryosea is designed to capture attention.

  • Matte translucent finish

  • Solid blue nylon lenses

  • SubD geometry for continuous, flowing surfaces

  • Dimensions: 52 □ 18 – 145

  • Comes with certificate of authenticity and archival packaging

Hydroceras Noctyra: The Liquid Night

Noctyra appears in a translucent gray, like liquid under moonlight—hovering between visibility and disappearance. Mysterious and refined, Noctyra embodies the shadowed side of water.

  • Matte translucent finish

  • Solid gray nylon lenses

  • High-definition 3D-printed translucent polyamide

  • Dimensions: 52 □ 18 – 145

  • Presented with certificate and custom pouch

Technology Meets Craftsmanship

Behind the aesthetics lies a dialogue between digital innovation and traditional expertise. Each Hydroceras frame begins as a sculptural sketch by Paris Koutsavelis, then transitions into high-definition 3D printing.
This process blends:

  • SubD geometry, ensuring fluid surfaces,

  • 3D-printed precision, creating structural clarity,

  • optical design mastery, ensuring comfort and wearability.
    Hydroceras is not just an artistic statement—it’s a wearable, ergonomic object.

A Limited Edition as a Statement

Hydroceras is not mass-produced. Each frame is part of a limited run, strengthening its role as a collectible piece. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and archival box, every pair is positioned as both design artifact and functional eyewear.
Here, 3D printing is not about efficiency but about a creative language—a way to break repetition in the eyewear industry and introduce new forms of expression.

Paloceras: An Independent House with Global Roots

Founded in Switzerland, Paloceras draws from creative roots in Finland and Portugal. The brand has been featured in Financial Times, Vogue, ELLE, Harper’s Bazaar, and more, recognized for frames that balance digital precision and hand-finished artistry.
Its DNA blends:

  • digital modeling and printing,

  • handcrafted detail,

  • poetic inspiration from nature and memory.
    Hydroceras fits seamlessly within this vision, while pushing the brand into new creative territory.

Where to Find Hydroceras

Hydroceras launches on September 23, 2025, exclusively on paloceras.com. With its limited availability, each pair is as much a collector’s item as it is functional eyewear. Packaged in archival boxes with custom pouches, Hydroceras embodies the idea of wearable design art.

Paloceras Hydroceras - Women

Hydroceras proves that eyewear can be more than accessory—it can be sculpture, movement, and identity. With its Cryosea and Noctyra editions, Paloceras captures two faces of water: crystalline clarity and nocturnal depth. Beyond aesthetics, the collection exemplifies how algorithmic design and 3D printing can merge with craftsmanship to produce objects of rare innovation. Limited, refined, and poetic, Hydroceras is a manifesto for the future of eyewear—designed for those who see glasses not only as vision correction but as an extension of themselves.
