Modo was born in 1990 in Soho, New York under the entrepreneurial spirit of its founder, Alessandro Lanaro. Modo has evolved into a company that designs, manufactures and distributes a successful portfolio of house brands, designer brand and contemporary lifestyle brands – all under the common denominator of design and innovation.   Our brands include Modo, Eco, and Derek Lam. Modo is a global company with offices in New York, Milan, Stockholm and Hong Kong.     Today, Modo drives the eyewear industry’s effort in sustainability and social responsibility. With initiatives like producing frames with 95% recycled content (Eco brand), planting trees for every frame sold (Eco’s “one frame – one tree”), giving free spectacles to those in need (Modo’s “buy a frame – give a frame”), Modo is a pioneer in merging style and purpose.
