Mykita opens in Washington

Mykita opens its most recent shop – the second in the United States – on a stylish street corner in the historic neighbourhood of Georgetown. Joining the line of Mykita Shops around the world, each with their own distinctive identity, this red brick, heritage-listed building is one of the oldest in the U.S. Capital. The character of the old townhouse with its solid oak flooring creates a beautiful contrast to the clean and modern Mykita aesthetic. The interior design of the Mykita Shop features a contemporary composition of different furniture elements and contrasting materials. Here the concept of the readymade – objects removed from their original context – merges with specially designed furniture pieces and stage-like lighting. The result is a kind of installation with a simple and clear construction that both preserves and complements the original character of the Federal era building.
