Designer: MODO Decade: 1980s Country of Origin: Japan Frame Model: MC012 Lenses: New Grey Gradient Lenses with UV Protection Condition: Excellent Vintage. Size: 51-18 Fit: Medium | Standard Fit Historical Context: Founded in New York City in 1990, MODO was built on the idea that exceptional eyewear should be lightweight, timeless, and effortlessly wearable. Drawing creative influence from New York's progressive spirit, Italian design heritage, and Scandinavian minimalism, the brand quickly became known for its refined proportions and understated aesthetic. For its premium collections, MODO partnered with Japanese manufacturers renowned for their precision engineering and meticulous craftsmanship. While Italian design has long been celebrated for its expressive style, Japanese production is regarded as the benchmark for technical excellence in eyewear. By combining these two traditions, MODO created frames that balance sophisticated design with exceptional comfort, durability, and attention to detail. Today, MODO continues to be recognized for its innovative use of lightweight materials and meaningful social impact through its long-standing partnership with Seva, helping provide vision care to millions of children worldwide. Includes an AZYR Specs case and microfiber cleaning cloth.
