The European eyewear brand, based out of Portugal and Finland, is launching its Pebble Collection in New York this month; two new SS25 silhouettes are premiering with this release
In fashion spheres, Paloceras has been dubbed an exceptional rising force and in the optical world, while early adopters of the bold and stylish inflated forms included a handful of the leading opticians across the globe, at the forefront of eyewear fashion and qualitative design.
Today, they launch two new styles in their Pebble Collection, known for its bold inflated forms and colour innovation. The new Aviator (VX) and Diamond (DX) which join frames like the RX, an oval shape with the distinctive signature style, extend the eye-catching collection with new directions. “The development began not with sketches, but with simulation,” Design Director Alexis Perron-Corriveau explains. “Using digital matter in motion, we watched as geometry settled into place. Not through control, but through release. Shape was found, not forced….”
Paloceras first launched their frames in Europe in 2022. The co-founders, Mika Matikainen and Alexis Perron-Corriveau, who had met a short time previously at one of the world’s most exclusive design schools in Switzerland, founded the brand on finishing their Masters, choosing Lisbon as their base from which to launch.

Using computational simulations and generative design, we watched as forms revealed themselves, not through control but through discovery. Like finding a perfect pebble on the shore. Something already whole. Something that feels meant to be. Then came the hands. Artisans translating discovery into permanence, shaping acetate with precision until it felt inevitable, as if it had always existed. Colour was not just applied but composed, layered through custom lamination to bring depth and contrast. Bold yet natural. Playful yet refined.…” Alexis Perron-Corriveau, Design Director
