MYKITA

Since 2003, Mykita frames have been pushing the envelope for innovative frames. In terms of durability, ingenuity, and style, the Mykita collection is at the forefront of eyewear design.

Handmade in Berlin, the designers Harald Gottschling, Daniel Haffmans, Phillip Haffmans and Moritz Krueger created a collection consisting of laser-cut stainless steel. Each frame utilizes a hinge that makes screws redundant, using a folded design that makes the frames a lesson in functional design. For the average consumer, most people will find the Mykita frames to be the lightest, cleanest look around. Each frame in the collection is incredibly durable, and can be worn in a professional setting with suits or in more casual settings, playing sports on the weekends

        BEVEL

        During the 1990s, Richard and Rick were colleagues at the Optical Shop of Aspen (osa). They began seeking out one anothers’ advice and relying on each other as sounding boards. Their professional friendship seemed unlikely- aside from their shared name, on the surface they appeared to have little in common. Richard, with the easy demeanor of the international traveler, is English, loves living in new york city, and enjoys independent music and film and classic literature. Rick, meanwhile, is the epitome of the All-American , still residing in suburban Kansas City, where he was born and raised. He learned the fundamentals of the eyewear business working behind the counter of his fathers optical shop.

        The two recognized that their differences would be a strength in establishing a business together. Through his work with osa and alain mikli, Richard was confident that his modern and minimalist design aesthetic would appeal to a broad range of customers. Both men were determined to create a company that opticians would enjoy dealing with, as well. By establishing the headquarters in Kansas City, Rick knew he could find employees with the midwestern warmth and sensibility to ensure outstanding customer service.
