Mykita: Berlin Craftsmanship And Innovation
Mykita was founded in 2003 in Berlin by Harald Gottschling, Daniel Haffmans, Philipp Haffmans, and Moritz Krueger, who shared a vision of redefining luxury eyewear through innovative engineering and minimalist design. The brand name combines “my” (personal connection) with “kita” (Berlin dialect for daycare center), reflecting their creative workshop environment. From the beginning, Mykita challenged traditional eyewear manufacturing by developing proprietary hinge systems and focusing on lightweight, comfortable frames that combine technical precision with artistic expression.
Over two decades, Mykita has established itself as a leader in high-end eyewear, maintaining its Berlin headquarters where design, prototyping, and production occur under one roof. The brand is renowned for its collaborative approach, working with renowned designers and architects to create limited editions and special collections. Today, Mykita continues to push boundaries in material innovation and manufacturing techniques while staying true to its core values of quality, comfort, and distinctive design aesthetic.
