For over six generations, Mazzucchelli has transformed cellulose acetate into an exceptional material serving the world’s finest eyewear. Balancing Italian artisanal heritage with a forward-looking vision, the company continuously brings tradition and innovation into dialogue.
For the first time, Mazzucchelli combines its deep material expertise with the prospective vision of Peclers Paris, a leading agency in creative strategy and trend forecasting. Together, they present a trend book dedicated to eyewear — far more than a source of inspiration, it offers a cultural and aesthetic reading of the shifts redefining contemporary eyewear.
A true creative compass for the industry, it is now available on the Mazzucchelli website.
From material to vision, Mazzucchelli and Peclers Paris together sketch the future of eyewear.
Mazzucchelli has six generations of history: how does your family heritage and Italian roots shape who you are today?
Our family heritage is the foundation of everything we are and do. Across six generations, Mazzucchelli has cultivated deep expertise and a profound respect for materials, craftsmanship, people, and beauty.
Being rooted in Italy means embracing a culture where design, quality, and attention to detail are not optional — they are essential. This heritage continues to shape how we work with acetate today: with expertise, passion, and an unwavering pursuit of excellence that embodies the essence of Italian luxury.

Mazzucchelli stands as a global leader and reference point for cellulose acetate and design innovation in eyewear. What defines us is the ability to unite industrial mastery with a strong creative vision — built over decades of technical expertise and ongoing investment in research and development.
From the world’s most iconic luxury brands to emerging niche designers, Mazzucchelli anticipates needs and exceeds expectations with custom solutions, cutting-edge research, and a singular sensitivity to color.

Cellulose acetate is your signature: what makes it special, and how does it reflect your commitment to innovation and sustainability?
Cellulose acetate is the material we know, love, and have mastered over generations. It’s alive and warm, rich in depth, transparency, and tactile qualities. Its versatility allows infinite colors, layers, and effects, opening a world of creative possibilities while ensuring comfort and durability.
At the same time, cellulose acetate reflects our vision for responsible innovation. Naturally derived from renewable wood pulp, it is complemented by sustainable sourcing, recycling initiatives, and circular solutions. For us, beauty, performance, and environmental responsibility are inseparable.
Why did you choose to collaborate with Peclers Paris on this trend book, and what did the partnership bring to your creative process?
Trend research has always been at the heart of Mazzucchelli’s identity. Over the years, we have continuously explored fashion, color, materials, and lifestyles, guided by our product development team and in close dialogue with our technical experts. This constant exchange between creativity and industrial know-how allows us to anticipate eyewear trends.
For this project, we wanted to share that vision with the broader eyewear community. That’s why we partnered with Peclers Paris — a world-leading authority in creative strategy and trend forecasting. Their forward-looking perspective perfectly complements our material expertise, bringing fresh creative insights and new ways to interpret the future of eyewear. Through workshops, co-creation, and dialogue, this collaboration produced a dedicated trend book, reinforcing Mazzucchelli’s role as a hub of innovation while showcasing the visionary edge that Peclers Paris brings.
Mazzucchelli is exploring new sectors beyond eyewear. How do you balance tradition with diversification?
Diversification is a natural extension of our expertise. Beyond eyewear, we develop materials such as our decorative sheets, Mdecor, which adapt to fashion, accessories, automotive interiors, and tech products. Similarly, our granules open new possibilities across industries like cosmetic packaging, where aesthetics, performance, and material quality are essential.
In every sector, we apply the same principles that define our heritage: material excellence, innovative design, and creative vision. Staying true to our DNA ensures that every product, wherever it appears, remains unmistakably Mazzucchelli.
Looking ahead, what vision and ambitions will guide Mazzucchelli’s next chapter?
Our future is guided by sustainability, responsible growth, and continuous innovation. We aim to expand globally while deepening our commitment to circular materials and advanced research.
Most importantly, we want to inspire designers, brands, and the luxury industry — showing that tradition and innovation can coexist to create a more conscious, desirable, and forward-thinking future. With partners like Peclers Paris, we transform insights into tangible creative directions, turning trends into opportunities and visions into reality.
