Founded in 2009 in Atlanta by multimedia artist Kel Cadet-Lyons, R-KI-TEKT is a lifestyle and accessories brand rooted in the designer’s West Indian heritage and childhood summers in Haiti. The brand is defined by its vibrant, hand-painted leather goods and wooden accessories, which draw inspiration from African Diasporic cultures, color theory, and travel. Cadet-Lyons, who sought to become the architect of her own style after the birth of her first child, infuses her pieces with a bohemian-minimalist aesthetic that balances bold patterns with clean, functional shapes.
