ORIGINS: A MEETING OF MINDS The story of Paloceras begins not in a corporate design studio but in the vibrant corridors of one of Europe’s most experimental art and design schools. It was at L’École Cantonale d’Art de Lausanne (ECAL) in Switzerland that Finnish designer Mika Matikainen and Canadian designer Alexis Perron-Corriveau first crossed paths during a Master’s programme in Design for Luxury & Craftsmanship. Matikainen arrived with a background rooted in digital environments, a designer who had spent years navigating interfaces and visual systems and who was yearning for a more tangible craft. Perron-Corriveau, on the other hand, came from a hands-on tradition rooted in woodworking and architectural materials, trained to think in physical forms and richly layered surfaces.
