Engineered Minimalism, Evolving Aesthetics

Mykita has established itself as a contemporary design authority in eyewear, widely regarded as a reference point for precision-driven innovation and independent thinking. Founded in Berlin in 2003 by Moritz Krueger, the brand operates at the intersection of engineering, craftsmanship, and progressive aesthetics, supported by a fully integrated production model in which all collections are handmade at the Mykita Haus, enabling complete control over design and manufacturing while remaining uncompromising in its values. Rather than following seasonal trends, Mykita has built its reputation through a holistic design philosophy rooted in material research, technical refinement, and interdisciplinary collaboration, where patented engineering solutions and a tailored approach to form and fit result in eyewear that feels purposeful, enduring, and precisely considered. This commitment, reinforced by transparency around environmental and social responsibility, continues to strengthen the brand’s global credibility, positioning Mykita as one of the most influential and fast-growing reference names in contemporary eyewear. Entering 2025, Mykita expanded its design narrative through a series of clearly defined launches, including Amber Havana, Mykita RX Lessrim, and the Lite Powder collection. Each concept introduced a distinct material or surface exploration, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to precision, reduction, and refined aesthetics across optical frames. As the year progresses toward its close, these launches collectively reflect a period of focused development and creative clarity, setting the tone for a seamless transition into the next design chapter. Looking ahead, Mykita approaches 2026 with a sense of continuity rather than disruption. The direction feels assured and forward-moving, guided by the same principles of restraint, material intelligence, and technical elegance. Without the need for overt statements, the brand signals an evolution shaped by confidence, depth, and a clear understanding of its design language.

A Productive Year, Defined by Purpose
Throughout 2025, Mykita has demonstrated a confident design momentum, expanding its collections through carefully considered concepts that explore material, surface, and proportion. One of the last year’s standout developments comes in the form of Amber Havana, a contemporary reinterpretation of tortoiseshell. Deep amber tones enriched with subtle red inflections bring warmth and depth to acetate frames, offering a modern expression of a timeless eyewear staple. The colour story feels bold yet restrained, designed for wearers who embrace colour with quiet confidence. Combined with Mykita’s Acetate design language and the integrated Endura hinge, these frames balance refined aesthetics with engineered comfort and long-term resilience.

Precision takes centre stage in Mykita Rx Lessrim, a collection that reimagines rimless eyewear through a distinctly modern lens. Stripped of traditional conservatism, Lessrim introduces an ultra-fine stainless steel rim that delicately traces the lens edge, creating an almost invisible silhouette. The result is eyewear that enhances natural expression rather than dominating it. Refined metallic hues and subtle bicolour combinations contribute to an understated luxury, while the near-weightless construction delivers all-day comfort. Lessrim stands as a clear expression of Mykita’s ability to rethink established categories through design clarity and technical finesse. Another defining chapter of 2025 is Mykita Lite Powder, set for release in October. With its pioneering use of powder coating in eyewear, the collection introduces a new surface language that challenges conventional stainless steel aesthetics. The innovative finish allows for a distinctive colour palette while maintaining the Lite collection’s signature lightness. Subtly convex forms create a soft, rounded three-dimensional presence, evoking traditional wireframe glasses while pushing them into unexpected chromatic territory. Pastel tones and clear powder coatings over champagne gold add depth and tactility, reinforcing Mykita’s material-driven approach to progressive design.

Brand Codes Evolving This Season
Building on this momentum, Mykita enters 2026 with a series of launches that extend its design philosophy into new expressions for both sun and optical eyewear. Lessrim Sun translates the precision of the optical concept into a capsule of sunglasses defined by clarity, reduction, and a quietly radical edge. The ultra-thin stainless steel rim disappears into the lens groove, creating a sleek and near-invisible outline. A restrained palette of dark matt tones, subtle metallics, and sophisticated bicolour contrasts reinforces the collection’s cosmopolitan character. Five unisex shapes interpret the Lessrim language through distinctive geometries, enhanced by gradient lenses that add depth without overpowering the minimalist architecture. The result recalls contemporary jewellery in its balance of understatement and character. With Lite Acetate Sun, Mykita introduces a sculptural exploration of acetate infused with a Seventies sensibility. Warm Amber and deep Black Havana fronts set an atmospheric tone, while the brand’s signature hybrid construction pairs expressive acetate with sleek stainless steel temples. The silhouettes reference iconic shapes through a distinctly modern filter, resulting in sunglasses that feel polished, lightweight, and effortlessly wearable. Retro cues are present, but always refined, reflecting Mykita’s ability to balance nostalgia with precision engineering. Colour takes a bolder turn in Lite Powder Optical Neon Pink, where the collection’s minimalist wireframe aesthetic meets a vivid new hue. Joining the existing pastel palette, Neon Pink brings an unexpected energy to Mykita’s powder-coated silhouettes. In the campaign, the new color introduced on the panto-shaped Aita model from the Lite Powder frames also extends to the other two designs in the series, the aviator Tosca and the hexagonal Santo. Lightweight, modern, and playful, the concept reinforces Mykita’s willingness to challenge visual codes without compromising design integrity.
