Matteo Paduano, Creative Director and founder of ModProj, has built a career that spans from hands-on product design to leading global creative teams, shaping the future of major brands along the way. At The North Face, Matteo collaborated with athletes and drove market-shifting innovations, merging functionality with cutting-edge design. His time at Yeezy saw him working closely with Ye on projects ranging from urban bandoliers to groundbreaking eyewear, pushing the boundaries of modern fashion. Matteo’s talent was also recognized with a prestigious Red Dot Award for the Access Pack, an innovative daypack that redefined everyday carry.

Through ModProj, Matteo brings this same blend of luxury, sustainability, and innovation to a new realm — crafting eco-conscious designs that elevate everyday living. Each piece is hand-finished, reflecting Matteo’s love for mid-century modern design in every detail. Subtle variations and small inconsistencies are part of the process, celebrating craftsmanship while reducing unnecessary waste. Rather than discarding these unique pieces, ModProj embraces them as a mark of authenticity and sustainability.

Whether it’s a pet accessory, home décor item, or fidget toy, ModProj products invite creativity and environmental consciousness into your everyday life. At the heart of the brand is a belief that luxury should never compromise sustainability — and that good design should always tell a story, your story.
