Design meets quality
The cooperation between MYKITA and Leica Eyecare results in award-winning products. Such as the sunglasses collection that won the Red Dot Award for Product Design 2020. Find out what lies behind the successful collaboration.
Signature Elements
The collaboration unites both worlds. Typical elements from the Leica design language appeal to connoisseurs of the brand and are a recurring style element throughout the collection.
For example, the geometric shape of the lenses, which refers to the front view of the lens hood of a Leica camera. Or the distinctive Leica font used on the inside of the temples.
The collection's reduced color palette of matte silver, black, taupe and gray with red accents reflects the well-known Leica color scheme.
Glass technology
The organic lenses developed especially for the collaboration are individually ground and polished from a cast blank – a process that is otherwise only reserved for corrective lenses.
In addition to extreme clarity, the lens is also characterized by its special surface treatment: the achromatic anti-reflective coating AQUADURA® VISION PRO on the inside of the lenses offers invisible protection against annoying reflections.
