MYKITA COLLECTIONS ARTISAN EYEWEAR

The advanced surface treatments and meticulous hand-lacquering processes at the Modern Manufactory add depth and character to handcrafted stainless steel frames.

INSPIRATION

MYKITA merges artisanal techniques with high technology for its singular approach to embellishment. Metallic surfaces and some black colorways are achieved via PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coating, an advanced surface treatment also used in the aerospace and automotive industry. All colored frames are hand-lacquered – a meticulous multi-step process for the tri or bicolor models.

COLLECTION

Advanced engraving and manual lacquering techniques give the impression of texture and material depth all while staying true to the clear design language of the Modern Manufactory – frames remain as sleek and light as always. Bicolor concepts combining metallic surfaces with matt lacquers lend a modern sensibility to feminine styles from the LITE collection. The LITE design series with subtly engraved surfaces, including TALVI and AURI get a colorway update via contrasting Champagne Gold/Black.
