ENDLESS SIMPLICIT Y / IMAGEBOOK 2019

MODO EYEWEAR – ENDLESS SIMPLICIT Y With this year’s collection, we go back to where it all begins: to the elemental shapes – which embody the essence of MODO’s designs. Through the art of collage, we visualize the simple building blocks that together will evolve into unique and innovative eyewear. Designed with form and function in mind, each part plays a vital role in the final product. Let’s embrace simplicity.
