MODULNOVA opens its newest showroom in Houston, Texas bringing the Italian brand’s modern kitchens, contemporary living, bath and outdoor to the Lone Star state. Led by Maria Fortoul and Ricardo Montes of Spazio Interni, the showroom exemplifies the complete Modulnova lifestyle. Located in the prestigious Houston Upper Kirby District, Modulnova Houston is a destination designed to provide a unique experience for interior designers and clients alike. Featuring four kitchens, a living system, wall paneling, two door solutions and a wine cellar system, guests are immediately immersed in the integrated design lifestyle that MODULNOVA offers.
The showroom is a perfect blend of form and functionality, where the beauty of materials, precision engineering, and attention to detail unite to create exceptional living spaces. Upon entering the showroom, you are welcomed by the brand’s latest design system, showcasing several unique elements such as Fly program: the perfect monolith with no visible thicknesses. The sides, bases, and top have a thickness of 3 cm, characterized by a 45° beveled edge and the Ghost system, a bi-fold pocket door reinterpreted in the Groove program, with the Modulnova fluted door, designed in the Noce Milano finish.
The Infinity open storage base unit serves as a connection between the impressive “FLY” ceramic island with integrated countertop, doors, and cooktop with a round table which provides a casual dining space. MODULNOVA’s newest finishes Gold Brown ceramic, “Noce Milano” warm walnut wood veneer and Bronze Dust Aluminum create warm yet modern aesthetic.
“We wanted to showcase the breadth of MODULNOVA’s solutions and how they can be integrated throughout a home, which is why we opted to have Brera Shelving, Unlimited Bookshelf with Blade Doors, and the Living Frame within the showroom.” says Maria. Each element allows you to integrate display area, provide storage, and serve to delineate various atmospheres.
The Blade Lab kitchen is a remarkable moment in the showroom. Blade Lab represents Modulnova’s Stone project. Through research and the use of cutting-edge technologies, Modulnova has transformed a material traditionally known for its weight into one that is compatible within the kitchen. The stone door is hollowed and lightened internally, preserving the aesthetic perfection of the stone with its continuous grain pattern, even at the edges, while maintaining its stability and resistance characteristics. Emblematic of the Modulnova brand with its innovation and strong character, it is designed in Emperador matte finish marble featuring a “Millerighe” (thousand lines) detail on the island that has become a hallmark of the brand. Marble doors have a patented construction technique that showcases the beauty of natural stone but allow for strong function and long-term durability. A suspended dining table in Caffe Oak veneer floats out of the island, while a unique and functional sliding storage element is cleverly concealed behind wall paneling.
Throughout the space, cutting-edge Italian cabinetry solutions allow clients to visualize how various materials and finishes can be seamlessly integrated into the design. These elements can be incorporated into the interior design to create a unique, exclusive environment that perfectly aligns with a client’s needs and preferences. The showroom’s innovative design solutions embrace practicality, without compromising on style. Each element is crafted to elevate the kitchen and living experience, ensuring unparalleled versatility and sophistication. With a focus on customized design solutions and attention to every detail Modulnova Houston offers a transformative approach that goes beyond traditional kitchen concepts.
