Vertical Groove by Modulnova

Combining walnut in a warm chocolatey Moka finish and an alluring Silver Roots marble countertop, the Vertical Groove floating island by Modulnova illustrates the appeal of natural materials. The textured wood panelling includes an innovative handle-free door opening system that maintains a sleek and clean-lined aesthetic, while the thickly streaked marble shows up again as a chunky plinth that lifts the island off the ground (with the help of a thinner double metal blade at the opposite end).

Poetica by Scavolini

With modern-day proportions and retro-inspired framing on its ash panel doors, Poetica by Vuesse for Scavolini brilliantly harmonizes the past with the present. A round recessed-grip profile on both the base units and full-height cabinets (shown here with Space Black Microdecor PET doors) adds further architectural appeal, while the Vertical System of wall panelling provides an opportunity for open display.

Artex Pro by Poliform

Finely balanced between classic and contemporary, the Artex Pro kitchen from Poliform has been augmented with an elegantly tapered countertop whose chamfered edge extends beyond its base to provide an intimate table. Solid fossilized elm wood has also been added to the materials portfolio; shown here on the full-height cabinet fronts, the precious antique wood features obvious graining that lends a natural sophistication.

Levitas Glass by Euromobil

A transparent counterpoint to the all-wood kitchen, Levitas Glass (with base, wall and freestanding tall units), designed by Italian architect and Euromobil art director Roberto Gobbo with the brand’s R&D team, was inspired by the lightness and fluidity of air — with an emphasis on sustainability. From the lightweight aluminum frame (in lacquered aged brass) and ultra-clear glass panels to the natural white oak details and chunky creamy-grey Taj Mahal quartzite worktop, all elements have a handsome bespoke quality.
