Mykita Mylon, Basky Spectacles

Mykita Mylon, Basky Spectacles is an innovative eyewear design that represents a significant advancement in spectacle manufacturing, combining traditional aesthetics with cutting-edge technology. This sophisticated eyewear piece, which earned the Silver A' Design Award in the Jewelry Design category, employs Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) technology to create a lightweight polyamide-based frame that offers exceptional durability and adjustability. The design reinterprets the classic panto spectacle shape from the 1930s, featuring a minimal rim thickness that bridges the gap between sporty functionality and contemporary aesthetics. The frame, weighing just 21 grams with dimensions of 13 cm front width and 13.5 cm temple length, demonstrates remarkable engineering precision through its layer-by-layer construction process. The manufacturing involves a complex six-step finishing procedure that creates a distinctive visual and tactile appeal, marking a revolutionary approach in luxury sports fashion eyewear. This groundbreaking design emerged from five years of research and development in Berlin, resulting in a product that seamlessly combines state-of-the-art materials with superior ergonomics. The frames feature outstanding individual adjustability through thermal adaptation, making them suitable for both athletic activities and daily wear while maintaining their structural integrity and sophisticated appearance. The design's innovation lies in its ability to overcome traditional manufacturing constraints, offering unlimited design possibilities without compromising on functionality or aesthetic appeal.
