1988
A family storyMay 14, 1988On May 14, 1988, Modulnova was founded by Dario, Giuseppe and Carlo Presotto. From the beginning, the company is distinguished by an innovative vision and the desire to introduce a new language in the world of design. Hence a path oriented to express a precise idea of beauty and architectural identity takes shape. Even the name reflects this design origin: Modulnova was born in the sign of Le Corbusier's Modulor, recalling a design idea based on proportion, measure and architecture.

InnovationsExperimentation became the hallmark of the brand: porcelain stoneware, until then used only for floors and walls, entered the world of the kitchen for the first time.
"We love to innovate and explore new finishes, using unconventional materials-sometimes from the world of construction. We started with 3mm porcelain stoneware slabs, which are very resistant to scratches and heat. Then came Pietra Piasentina and Cement Resin - materials capable of offering surprising tactile and visual sensations." - Carlo Presotto

LIGHTTHE MAN AT THE CENTER
"We want to live in an environment where people feel good, to transfer and share a positive attitude of curiosity, passion and desire for growth. To nurture in people that sense of belonging that leads to the natural orientation toward a common goal, given by the enthusiasm of feeling part of a group, a project, a family." Dario Presotto

INTEGRATED DESIGNHome Passion Design vol. 1 Modulnova publishes a catalogue of living solutions, an idea that stems from the desire to create a design mood in which the kitchen, bathroom and living room, increasingly connected and with blurred architectural boundaries, are integrated into the space in favour of a stylistic continuity of great harmony.

INTEGRATED DESIGNThe Design Revolution BLADE
New aesthetic and design language: Integrated Design.
"Modulnova interprets a new conception of living space by redefining traditional volumes with a proposal that communicates with the architectural space. The large aluminium floor-to-ceiling doors proposed in the living area and in the kitchen can thus become unexpected passage doors between one room and another, integrating perfectly into the columns or wardrobes. The "traditional" subdivisions between the rooms disappear in favor of a stylistic continuity of great harmony. " — Dario Presotto

"When you work hard and with passion 30 years go by in a flash. We are satisfied with what we are accomplishing for many reasons, first of all for having achieved these results together, through a path of sharing passions, dreams , working and comparing ourselves daily. We are perhaps a unique case: a company that thinks, studies and designs everything in-house, following every step of the process-from design to research, from innovation to patents, from image to catalogs." - Giuseppe Presotto
