About Commodore International Corporation

Commodore is reimagining technology through the lens of Retro • Futurism. We aim to cultivate a public perception of a brand that has just re-emerged directly from the 1990s — bringing back the essence of 2000s retro-futurism and techno-optimism. Our goal is to ignite nostalgia while inspiring consumers who are eager to cut ties with what they see as today’s “toxic tech” that has become overly intrusive. We build products that honor our iconic past while pushing the boundaries of modern design and innovation.
