FIN SINCE 2003, MYKITA CREATES AND PRODUCES ENTIRELY IN-HOUSE ITS INNOVATIVE AND MULTI-AWARD-WINNING GLASSES.
At its headquarters in Berlin, called MYKITA HAUS, the glasses are designed, tested, produced, and finally shipped worldwide. A process that begins and ends in the same place and allows for maximum creative freedom.
But that's not all: MYKITA also places great importance on the sustainability of its processes and materials, and highly values the interculturality of people and the multidisciplinarity of approaches. After all, where else could this happen if not in Berlin, a true melting pot of cultures and one of the most vibrant cities in the West?
But let's see how MYKITA was born and how it became one of the most iconic, well-known, and appreciated brands.
The story of MYKITA
In 2003, in a former nursery, the brand MYKITA was born. The name of the brand comes from that first location and from the combination of My and Kita, an abbreviation of Kindergarten.
The name aims to pay tribute not only to the location but also to the desire to learn and the curiosity that has always characterized the company.
From the very beginning, MYKITA stands out for its originality. The founders Harald Gottschling, Daniel Haffmans, Philipp Haffmans, and Moritz Kreuger do not just want to produce glasses but want to do it with a unique and unmistakable style, in addition to using the most cutting-edge technologies.
After the first years at the former nursery, MYKITA changes location and moves to Brunnenstraße, where it will stay for 8 years, before relocating to the former Pelikan-Haus, which is still the main headquarters today.
The company's headquarters is not just a workplace, but a true creative and production laboratory.
Every MYKITA eyewear is born within these walls, from the continuous exchange between the different departments and from the inspiration that arises from working together.
