Since 2003, Mykita has been creating and producing its own innovative and multi-award-winning glasses entirely in-house.

At its headquarters in Berlin, called MYKITA HOUSE, the glasses are designed, tested, produced, and finally shipped all over the world. A process that begins and ends in the same place and allows for the maximum creative freedom.

But not only that: MYKITA also pays great attention to the sustainability of processes and materials, and takes into great consideration the interculturality of people and the multidisciplinarity of approaches. After all, where can this happen if not in Berlin, a true melting pot of cultures and cities among the most vibrant 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 MYKITA brand is born. The brand name comes from that first headquarters and from the union of My and Kita, an abbreviation of Kindergarten. The name aims to pay homage not only to the headquarters but also the desire to learn and the curiosity that has always characterized the company.

Right from the start, 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.

However, Moritz's and his collaborators' vision is so innovative and extreme that no manufacturer was willing to create those eyewear models. No problem: from that day on, MYKITA has always created and produced the glasses within its own headquarters, without relying on external companies.

Since then, MYKITA has always been a step ahead in eyewear, also focusing on collaborations and being awarded several times for design and style.

MYKITA HOUSE

After the first years at the former nursery, MYKITA changed location and moved to Brunnenstraße, where it would 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 it is a a true creative and production laboratoryEvery MYKITA eyewear is born within these walls, from the continuous exchange between different departments and from the inspiration that arises from working together.

The innovation of MYKITA: Mylon

MYKITA glasses combine the craftsmanship of the approach with the most cutting-edge technological innovation.

The freedom to experiment and the need to find one's own path have led to the discovery new materials and new ways of constructing glassesFor example, the use of innovative material Mylon, award-winning worldwide for its uniqueness. A lightweight material that allows for unprecedented processing.

With a particular matte surface, it resists over time and is produced in series using 3D printers to achieve maximum versatility in shapes.

The MYKITA models

In almost twenty years of activity and research, the MYKITA catalog has become very vast, while maintaining its specific recognizability.

Some models are among our favorites and we want to present them to you.

MMRAW015

Maison Margiela

Born from the collaboration with Maison Margiela, it is a pair of glasses produced in an artisanal manner and the manual milling makes it unique. Moreover, the matte and raw finish, in unpolished acetate, makes it a model suitable for those who are not afraid to dare. And the butterfly frame will certainly not go unnoticed!

Russell

But MYKITA is not just a brand for those who prefer to experiment and go beyond. While maintaining the same care in production, some models like the Russell are iconic and maintain a classic style suitable for everyone.

Similar to the Russell, but with a round shape, the Gable maintains a clean and timeless style.

Winter

For those who prefer lighter shapes and a minimalist style we recommend the Talvi. Clean shapes, a metal frame, and sunglasses that protect from every light condition. Suitable for both classic attire and a more informal evening.

Studio 11.1

But MYKITA is not just glasses. In its continuous search, the Berlin studio has also created pieces of jewelry like this Studio 11.1 that encompasses in a single object, handmade in stainless steel, 3 different ways to wear it.

A versatile and precious jewel.

Panda

Finally, a model from the collection MYKITA First, dedicated to boys and girls. A steel frame, with rubber coatings, lightweight and allows you to live every situation without any fear. Not to mention style, which is important even from a young age!
