8 comprises a retrospective of the last eight years of Berlin-based eyewear brand MYKITA, tracking the company s progress from its first premises to its current HQ and production shop, where all frames are crafted by hand. This book provides an insight into life behind the scenes at a modern manufactory, while also addressing the subject of collaborations and looking at the evolution of MYLON, a new material developed by MYKITA. The 8th anniversary also prompted MYKITA to invite selected artists to produce original works illustrating their impressions of MYKITA, which are being shared in this publication.
