Hydroceras, the newest limited-edition release from Paloceras, is not so much eyewear as it is frozen water—eyewear captured mid-movement, designed to resemble liquid in suspended animation. As part of the brand’s growing identity around computational artistry and digital craft, Hydroceras reflects a new frontier in how frames are conceived, shaped, and brought into the world.
Designed under the creative direction of Alexis Perron-Corriveau, and in collaboration with Paris Koutsavelis, Hydroceras blends algorithmic design with hand-guided sculpting, resulting in eyewear that feels organic and futuristic.
Built Like a Liquid, Engineered to Last
Each Hydroceras frame begins as a digital sculpture, shaped using high-resolution digital light processing to 3D print in liquid resin. The result is a seamless, high-fidelity object—curved, smooth, and continuous—meant to reflect the visual and physical sensation of water mid-motion. With no abrupt transitions, sharp angles, or breaks in form.
Crafted in Austria using advanced printing systems, each frame offers structural integrity and comfort, along with exceptional visual impact. Paloceras treats 3D printing not as a shortcut but as a creative tool, using the medium to push aesthetic boundaries rather than reduce production cost.
Three Colorways, All Limited
Hydroceras is available in three colorways, each matte, translucent, and inspired by natural phenomena. These aren’t just color options—they are integral to the frame’s narrative identity:
Cryosea:
A translucent matte blue that evokes frozen oceans and crystalline ice sheets of a distant moon.
Noctyra:
A deep matte grey that feels like liquid under moonlight, poised between presence and absence.
Nephryte:
A matte translucent green that is meant to evoke water in a garden.
Each colorway is produced in limited quantities and comes with a numbered certificate of authenticity, a custom pouch, and a Paloceras archival box.
