The 6035 captures a distinctly 1990s approach to eyewear, combining a softly rectangular shape with a substantial acetate front. Its tortoiseshell pattern moves from warm amber and brown through darker tones, creating depth across the brow and outer edges. Subtle sculpting at the temples adds definition to the otherwise clean silhouette, while the original demo lenses preserve its deadstock character and are ready for custom fitting. Frame Model: 6035 (TTBKG) Decade: 1990s Country of Origin: Japan Lenses: Original demo lenses, ready for custom Condition: Deadstock Measurements: 52-18-138 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.
