A temple made of negative space
Riku is the first MYKITA model with a split temple: material is left out and the negative space becomes part of the drawing. Lines etched in a contrasting colour recall a technical drawing. The model is hand-assembled at the MYKITA HAUS in Berlin.
„We carry Riku in Gold/Black, with polarised green lenses.“

Mykita
A Berlin house founded in 2003 by Harald Gottschling, Daniel Haffmans, Philipp Haffmans and Moritz Krüger. The name comes from its first premises - a former day nursery, which Germans call a "Kita" for short. The frames are still hand-assembled in Berlin, in their own workshop, because when they started nobody would manufacture what they had drawn. The house signature is a patented screwless spiral hinge, in stainless steel half a millimetre thick.
