Founded in Berlin in 2003 by Moritz Krueger, the first MYKITA premises were settled in a former children’s day care, called Kita in German. This inspired not only the name My Kita, but also the culture of curiosity and play. They started with a clear aesthetic vision and a readiness to do things entirely in-house.
The first collection featured an openly displayed spiral hinge, a mechanical solution that became an incidental styling element and a hallmark of MYKITA frames. This original patented hinge represents the guiding principle for design at MYKITA: the technical solution must also be aesthetic.
