Paloceras

Paloceras designs singular frame exclusively for Robert Wun’s Paris haute couture runway

The 3D printed design, which has a futuristic face-hugging wraparound shape, produced in three colours, was created as an integral part of the couture silhouette by Wun. Developed and hand-finished in Helsinki at the eyewear brand’s new MicroFactory, (https://www.eyestylist.com/2026/01/paloceras-3d-printed-limited-collections-now-made-in-helsinki/) the frame itself was conceived by Paloceras Design Director Alexis Perron-Corriveau, with collaborating designer Paris Koutsavelis – and produced under the direction of Erwin Laiho, Industrial Designer and Paloceras MicroFactory Lead with finishing carried out by Laiho to ensure material precision and coherence with the garments shown on the runway.

The initial intention for eyewear originated within Wun’s collection narrative. Paloceras was invited to design the piece as part of the overall look, with the eyewear conceived to belong to the outfit itself rather than function as an accessory or afterthought.

In their statement about the design, the Paloceras team added that there will be no commercial release of the catwalk frame itself, although elements developed through the project “may inform future work by Paloceras.” Above: the striking 3D printed couture frame, designed by Paloceras for Robert Wun – image courtesy of Paloceras.

Paloceras is exhibiting for the first time at Mido 2026 in Milan, unveiling their new optical collection, Nouvelle Fiction

The collection adapts the sculptural design language of the brand’s iconic Pebble frames into refined lightweight spectacles made for daily wear. According to the founders, each shape maintains a recognisable identity through defined volume, rounded contours, and spherical tips, while being carefully recalibrated to meet optical standards. Proportions, material distribution, and fit have been adjusted to support stable fitting and long-term wear in an optical context.

“It was about retaining the emotional charge of our sculptural frames while letting them settle into something quieter, more instinctive to wear. The expression is more restrained, but the identity remains unmistakable.” – Alexis Perron-Corriveau, Design Director The signature inflated language that Paloceras has become known for is created through a controlled hot-pressing process that allows volume to be formed with precision rather than added as surface effect. This approach enables sculptural presence while maintaining structural stability and suitability for prescriptions.

The colour palette is composed specifically for optical use and includes some very elegant and subtle soft neutrals, translucent hues, as well as expressive marbled patterns. Each frame is carved from premium Mazzucchelli cellulose acetate using DualLayer laminated construction and finished with custom gold-plated Visottica hardware designed for optical adjustment and long-term serviceability. The finishing remains smooth, sculptural and recognisably Paloceras. The brand proposes lenses from Divel Italia featuring top-of-the-line hard coating and anti-reflective treatment developed for clarity, durability and daily use.

Paloceras will exhibit at Mido in Hall 6 – LAB Academy  – stand AY53.
