The collaboration between Makia and KOMONO has got its inspiration from nightless summer nights. In the northern hemisphere, the dark long winter is opposed by a long nightless summer. This polar natural phenomenon awakens nature, animals and humans and is referred to as the summer solstice. Since prehistory, the summer solstice has been seen as a significant time of year in many cultures, and has been marked by festivals and rituals, nowadays known as the midsummer.

Collection includes four different styles Lenny, Jay, Ellis and Liam.
