MYKITA TURNS FIVE. MYKITA celebrates this occasion with a book titled “5”. It comprises a retrospective on the first five years of Berlin-based eyewear brand MYKITA, tracking the company’s progress from its first premises to its current HQ and production shop, where all frames are made by hand. This book provides an insight into the design and manufacturing process, from original concepts to the finished products, as well as introducing the individuals who have put their heart into helping make MYKITA what it stands for today. The 5th anniversary also prompted MYKITA to invite five artists to produce original works illus- trating their impressions of the MYKITA brand. Words by design critic Markus Frenzl.
