MYKITA No1 Gerhard 557

Introducing the NO1 Collection, a cornerstone in the evolution of Mykita and more specifically the Gerhard 557. Crafted from stainless steel sheets in deep Purple with shiny Silver, these frames are transformed into intricate three-dimensional structures through precise bending and folding techniques, inspired by the Japanese art of origami. The signature open spiral hinge embodies a modern design philosophy that has shaped every MYKITA collection since: technical innovation seamlessly integrated with aesthetic elegance.

Handmade Eyewear with a Modern Aesthetic - Mykita glasses and sunglasses

Mykita is a German eyewear brand that combines traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. The company was founded in 2003 by Dirk Schaffrath and Moritz Krueger, who wanted to create a new kind of stylish and functional eyewear. The name stemmed from where they set up their business - former children’s daycare called ‘Kita’. From this, the name has been the foundation for their culture and practices – playful and full of curiosity and wonder.

The frames are made from high-quality materials, and everything is manufactured in-house. As no other manufacturers could make their designs the way Mykita wanted, they decided to do it themselves in Berlin. They have continuously pushed the boundaries of craftsmanship abilities and new technologies. The manufacturing process is highly automated, but each frame is still finished by hand. This ensures that every pair of Mykita glasses or sunglasses is of the highest quality.

Mykita Eyewear is known for its modern and minimalist aesthetic. The frames are simple and elegant, with clean lines and uncluttered designs. However, the brand also offers a range of more playful and expressive styles.

Mykita sets its sights on defying conventions and forging fresh artistic expressions in its eyewear. Their mission is to transcend overt logos and traditional symbols of luxury, instead channelling their energy into extensive research and development. They relentlessly innovate their constructions, materials, and surfaces, thus infusing our frames with a distinctive sense of contemporary elegance. Moreover, it allows them to create refined compositions of colour and surface that truly distinguishes their glasses from the rest.

In addition to their stylish designs, Mykita sunglasses and optical glasses are also known for their comfort and durability. The materials are lightweight and flexible, and the frames are designed to fit snugly without causing any pressure points.

If you are looking for stylish, comfortable, and durable eyewear, Mykita frames are a great option. The frames are of exceptional quality and finished to a meticulous standard.
