An authentic homage to Italian style. Modulnova‘s new Art kitchen combines the pleasure of conviviality with a distinctly artistic and architectural appeal. Designed by Carlo Presotto and Andrea Bassanello, Art is characterized by the purity of its shapes and volumes, recreated through the naturalness of handcrafted materials. A sculptural work of extreme charm for the home environment. Art harmoniously combines the refined ideal of marble with the tactile warmth of wood, emphasized by a judicious use of light. The perfect stoneware reproduction of Appennino Marble, developed exclusively for Modulnova, blends with the oiled wood of the Classic Walnut finish.

In particular, the Fold door wraps a part of the island, even in the corner area, creating an elegant and tactile frame: made with the folding technique, the 30° profile tilt makes it additionally extremely handy and practical; a thin edge between door and top creates an elegant aesthetic effect that enhances the material continuity and depth of the island itself. Adding rhythm to the composition are the vertical wood grains that run across the surface of the door, edge, profile and interior. This geometric linearity is taken up by the slatted panels of the sides and fronts that enhance the monolithic effect of the island in Apennine Stoneware.

The Art kitchen presents integrates the new Glass program, declined in the recessed door in smoked glass that creates a large showcase in the center of the composition: an expedient that gives lightness but also elegance to the whole. The door is made thanks to an innovative design system: an integrated frame hidden inside the single vertical profile that acts as a handle, so as to make the surface of the Glass door uniform and transparent, without external profiles both at the top, as well as in the bottom, and therefore visually lighter.
