About MODYN
Industry: Design Services
Company size: 11-50 employees
MODYN is an independent Dutch product development studio specialising in bicycles, family mobility and child transport. We help brands take products from architecture to scalable production, combining strategy, industrial design, engineering and CMF under one roof. Our core expertise covers bicycles and e-bikes, cargo bikes, child bike seats, car seats and strollers. We also develop sport and outdoor products, light mobility, motorcycles, and commercial and public vehicles, including buses and delivery vans. We start with the product architecture: the structure, mechanisms and interfaces that shape cost, weight, performance and scalability. We agree this foundation with our clients before detailed design begins, creating a clear framework for development and opportunities to build product families around a shared core. We then carry design and engineering through to production. For architectures owned by MODYN, we also offer licensing models with royalties linked to product sales. Based in Geldermalsen, the Netherlands, we have been developing products since 1984. Founded as Van der Veer Designers, we became MODYN in 2020. Our clients include Gazelle, Thule and VDL. Products developed with our clients have won 23 iF Design Awards and 22 Red Dot Design Awards, including three Red Dot Best of the Best and an iF Gold. Let’s discuss your next product.
