MYKITA

With their modern take on classic frames, MYKITA have sparked a renaissance in independent eyewear design from Berlin. From the first draft to the finishing touches, their spectacles are made from scratch under one roof, the MYKITA house in Berlin’s Kreuzberg district, using acetate and stainless steel. The eyewear disruptors pride themselves on innovation: the sides are attached by means of a patented, highly flexible and screw-less hinge. MYKITA have even developed a specialized material: Mylon is 40% lighter than acetate and is otherwise only used in Formula 1 racing.
