I love so many of them because they are comfortable, light, and suitable for everyday use.” Inside the intimate ground-level space, ready-made industrial elements meet with custom- designed furniture and mirrored walls interspersed with green foliage. Developed by the MYKITA in-house architectural team, the interior concept presents a compelling clash of textures and surfaces: a high-tech urban jungle ambiance that gives a nod to the mesmerising contrasts of the Bangkok metropolis itself. |
Pale green provides a unifying element for the interior, used on the expanded metal ceiling, eyewear storage trolleys and the metal detailing on the oak furniture. The signature white MYKITA WALL provides the central feature of the shop with the eyewear models of the current collection on display. On approaching the shop, the entrance to the in-store optical lab is already visible through the floor-to-ceiling glass front, providing a showcase for the dis- tinctive mix of handcraft and high technology that defines MYKITA’s Modern Manufactory.
