imagine sunglasses big enough to cover you up from all rays of sun, light-weight enough to comfortably go for a run, but stylish enough to wear with a suit…

now imagine MYLON in your wardrobe!

Mylon now makes frames too! more sleek matte ophthalmic styles are still on their way…

brought to you by Berlin’s own MYKITA: check out our previous post on this 3D printed series!

all frames photographed atop Mykita’s award-winning book “8″! get this beautiful coffee-table book with any purchase of mykita or mylon by mentioning this post! (while supplies last)

A truly innovative collection from Mykita, the 2011 iF material award-winning series “Mylon”!

“These are glasses that redefine the borders between the worlds of fashion and sports. All MYLON models boast individual adaptability, low weight and outstanding durability” - mylon.mykita.com

The 3D printing process termed SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) digitally renders three-dimensional objects layer by layer using laser-based heat in polyamide powder.

Each frame comes glazed with Zeiss tinted sun lenses including “an exclusive gold anti-glare, hydrophobic, nano-coating.” Tints provided were specifically catered toward increased visibility for golfers on the green and handily a nice contrast to the natural greys that Vancouver persists in providing.

Mykita is the first company to begin making eyewear with the SLS technology, starting several years ago with project collaborations with designers Rad Hourani, Romain Kremer, Bernhard Willhelm and more recently, Moncler.
