Known for its modern, classic look, Modo eyewear is derived from the worlds of architecture and design. A look that is defined as minimalistic and clean, with a modern edge, the Modo collection is designed to fit a variety of facial shapes and sizes.
Frames are available in several popular finishes including steel beryllium, lightweight titanium, and plastic (zyl). The sculpted curves of the newer metals have an architectural edge with colors that range from deep coppers and browns to platinum and gold. Many of the frames can accommodate clip-on sunglasses that are 100 percent UV protected.
With so many designer frames on the market today, why choose Modo? Let’s take a look at some specific styles. With a beta titanium pewter frame and nose pads attached without cumbersome screws, the Modo 1064 is extremely lightweight. Its rectangular frame has rounded edges that give this frame a simple elegance. Modo 1064 is available in brown, black, silver, gold, and pewter.
Model number 494 is also quite versatile and wearable and suited to people who appreciate innovative style, as well as quality in eyewear. Available in dark tortoise, black, and light tortoise, this frame wears well on both men and women. Likewise, style number 928, with its architectural look, has a rounded rectangular edge and comes in cranberry, copper, ink, and shiny rust finishes.
Distinguished by subtle details, Modo is known for its fashion sense as well as its function. Sometimes called a “work of art”, Modo frame technology combines high quality craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology. The sophisticated designs and subtle elegance of the Modo style make them a natural for fashion forward consumers.
Manufactured in Japan and headquartered in the SoHo section of New York., Modo frames are worn by celebrities like Richard Gere, Dustin Hoffman, Gabriel Byrne, and Vanessa Williams.
Modo also produces a line called Phat Farm, designed for the hip, urban consumer. Phat Farm includes 12 eyeglass styles and 10 sunglass styles. Movie producer, media mogul, hip-hop entrepreneur, and co-founder of Def Jam Records, Russell Simmons, is also the cofounder of the company.
The CADCAM (computer aided Design/Computer aided manufacturing.) technology—long a standard known in design and engineering departments in computer companies around the world—is responsible for much of what defines the Modo style today. Thanks to this CAD/CAM technique, Modo technicians are able to share design and manufacturing ideas with their factories in Italy and Japan, allowing for fast and efficient production times, in addition to the cutting-edge designs Modo is known for.
Innovative, durable, super resistant and ultra light are all terms that define the Modo style today. But, in addition, Modo is recognized as much for its high quality, as well as its value. Too often, value and fashion are mutually exclusive. Not so with the Modo frame, where the two exist together and result in a superior product that is recognized and worn throughout the world. With Modo frames a new frontier in eyewear has been reached. The Modo brand is distributed in the United States, Canada, and Italy.
