GLO Modern is an experimental gallery and modern-day souvenir shop, curating the objects we’d preserve for the future.

Located in NYC’s Two Bridges neighborhood, the gallery was founded by Lena Imamura (GLO Studio) and Lora Appleton (Kinder Modern) as a cultural waypoint—a space to slow down, reconnect, and consider what we truly value.

At a time when automation accelerates and attention fragments, GLO Modern holds space for the handmade, the storied, the human. It reimagines the gallery as a site of relationship—between artist and collector, object and story, past and future. Each collection blends art and design into a shared conversation: thoughtful, tactile, and alive with care.

From contemporary art and outsider works to high-end collectible design and vintage artifacts, GLO Modern invites a new kind of engagement—one rooted in stewardship, human connection, and the desire to carry culture forward.
