Paloceras is an independent luxury eyewear brand known for creating avant-garde sculptural frames as wearable art. Founded in 2022 by Mika Matikainen and Alexis Perron-Corriveau, the brand blends digital art, mythology, and physical craftsmanship to produce limited-edition sunglasses and optical frames. Notably, it first introduced its designs as digital NFTs before transitioning to physical production.

Brand Identity & Craftsmanship

• Design Aesthetic: Bold, highly dimensional, and inflated silhouettes that blur the line between fantasy and reality.

• Premium Materials: Frames are handcrafted from high-end materials like premium Mazzucchelli cellulose acetate, custom gold-plated Visottica hinges, and photochromic or Divel Italia nylon lenses.

• Global Footprint: Headquartered in Helsinki (where they opened a "MicroFactory" in 2025), with design studios and ateliers spanning Lisbon, London, New York, and La Coruña.

• Industry Recognition: The brand has collaborated with former football star Djibril Cissé, designed for Robert Wun's 2026 Spring-Summer haute couture show, and won Best Sun Style - Independent at the 2026 NOW Awards
