It is worth noting that the name Maikita has nothing to do with a man’s name and is derived from the words Kita (“nursery” in German) and My (“my” in English). The first office rented by the young company from Berlin was located on the territory of a kindergarten, hence the future name of one of the most progressive optical brands.
Mykita Harlow
Made in Berlin
The entire Mykita team works under one roof at the Mykita House in the Kreuzberg district – here they draw sketches of future models, develop the technical process, set up production, and carry out the final assembly of frames. This way, all team members have access to the product at any stage of its creation.
Mykita Alice
Diversity is in order
The model line consists of hundreds of models and is constantly updated. In order to fix the functional and aesthetic framework for each frame, they are divided into collections:
NO1 is the basic and first collection of frames made of sheet steel.
NO2 is a logical continuation of the first series, but from acetate.
DECADES are reinterpreted forms of different eras: be it panto of the 30s or oversized silhouettes of the 70s.
LITE – the thinnest and lightest frames.
MYKITA FIRST is a children’s series.
MYKITA MYLON – frames produced by 3D printing
Regardless of the season, the Collaborations and Projects series are released.
Mykita + Maison Margiela MMTRANSFER001
Mykita *Lite* Anyu
No need for a screwdriver
The company has a number of proprietary technologies. One of them is a specially designed hinge for metal frames: instead of the standard screw fastening of the temples, a patented spiral lock is used. It eliminates the use of unnecessary parts and fixes the temples in two positions: open and closed. A distinctive click is heard when the frame is opened and closed.
Mykita + Maison Margiela MMRAW006 black
In good companies
Mykita’s portfolio includes collections with Maison Margiela, Helmut Lang, Damir Doma, Benhard Willhelm, Ambush, Cote & Ciel, Moncler, Romain Kremer, and Mario Schwab. Any extraordinary model that comes out of the Collaborations collection retains the usual ergonomics, that is, it is perfectly adapted for everyday use.

Zeiss lenses
Many people use the lenses of this German manufacturer for their frames, but not everyone can afford individual orders. Custom colors, non-standard gradients, lens sizes, coatings and patterns can be produced by ZEISS specifically for Mykita.
Mykita Jonte Gold
To print
Another in-house development that began with a new production process is 3D printing. For this purpose, a new material called MYLON was developed, which eventually won the iF material award and became the basis for the collection of the same name. The frames produced in this way are lightweight, durable, and their production is considered waste-free. We offer a look at the process where polyamide powder is transformed layer by layer into a three-dimensional object, which is represented in the form of computer data.
Mykita + Bernhard Willhelm Vice
Slim and durable
Under excessive mechanical stress, a thin frame made of elastic sheet steel deforms but does not burst. The same metal properties allow the frame to be returned to its original shape.
Mykita Gunnar
Lighter than lenses
Some models from the *Lite* line weigh 12 grams. This figure will come in handy for those who spend the whole day wearing frames and wait for the nose bridge marks left by nose pads to disappear.
Mykita *Lite* Jais
Always in touch
The glasses are ready, but how to tell about them and where to present them. At this stage, many brands lose control of their product, putting it at the disposal of distributors and retailers. Having its own stores in cities such as New York, Berlin, Paris, Vienna, Zurich, Cartagena and Tokyo, Mykita products are sold in more than 60 countries, where company representatives are regularly sent to. Through direct dialogue with the store, the manufacturer learns more about its end user.
Mykita Amak
It is possible to reinvent glasses, and Mykita is not alone in doing so. Every year new solutions appear and we follow with interest everything that happens in modern optics, choosing the assortment for our store.
