About Mylon by Mykita

Founded in Berlin in 2003 by Moritz Krueger, Philipp Haffmans, Daniel Haffmans, and Harald Gottschling, MYKITA was born in a former children's day care, inspiring both its name and its culture of curiosity. Driven by a rebellious streak and a clear aesthetic vision, the brand established its own independent manufacturing facility, the MYKITA HAUS, in the heart of Berlin. This modern manufactory brings every stage of production under one roof, fostering a unique interplay between specialized craftsmanship and advanced technologies. MYKITA's philosophy centers on creating simple, functional designs with an idiosyncratic look, maintaining an open-minded work environment and a deep sense of integrity toward their pioneering products.

In 2010, MYKITA revolutionized the industry by introducing MYLON, an award-winning proprietary material that set the benchmark for 3D printed eyewear. MYLON is crafted from fine polyamide powder fused into solid objects using selective laser sintering (SLS), a technology adapted from the automotive industry. This resource-friendly additive manufacturing process results in frames that are 30% lighter than traditional acetate, exceptionally durable, and highly adaptable. At the MYKITA HAUS in Berlin, the brand developed its own specialized post-processing techniques to smooth, color, and seal the laser-sintered surfaces, achieving a distinct visual and tactile appeal while allowing for voluminous yet incredibly comfortable frame constructions.

The signature design element of MYKITA MYLON lies in its ability to blur the boundaries between fashion and sports, offering state-of-the-art aesthetics with extreme durability. The 3D printing technology provides complete freedom of design, enabling slender constructions and intricate functional parts impossible with conventional materials. Visually distinctive for their refined, sometimes steampunk-inspired aesthetic and feather-light feel, MYLON frames often feature the brand's iconic openly displayed spiral hinge. This commitment to functional, idiosyncratic design has earned MYKITA numerous accolades, including the prestigious iF Material Award and the Silver A' Design Award, cementing its status as a pioneer in modern eyewear design.

For those seeking the pinnacle of modern luxury and innovation, choosing to buy MYKITA MYLON online offers an unparalleled eyewear experience. Customers invest in MYKITA frames for their extraordinary comfort, as the lightweight polyamide construction ensures effortless all-day wear even with bold, voluminous styles.
