Inside the Lab
MODULNOVA
There is a place in Modulnova where design loses all initial rigidity and becomes open research, matter in transformation. It is the creative laboratory: a space where intuition and technique meet, test, challenge each other.
Here the noise of machinery is intertwined with the precision of craftsmanship. Wood, aluminum, surfaces, mechanisms enter into a continuous dialogue made of prototypes, attempts, verifications and developments. Each idea crosses the material, modifies it, discovers its limits and immediately overcomes them. Every solution is born from this close confrontation between imagination and construction.
The creative workshop is the place of forms still in the making, of insights that seek structure, of the most advanced technical solutions. A space where design freedom expands, where even the most extreme hypotheses find listening, study, form. It is here that Modulnova develops the deepest part of its innovation: not as a technical exercise, but as a continuous tension toward new expressions of design.

Natural Stone
Modulnova's research on stone stems from a desire to expand the possibilities of design, taking a naturally full and textural material to a new freedom of application. Through the development of dedicated construction solutions, stone keeps its expressive power intact, but acquires a structural lightness that makes its more evolved use possible. In Blade Lab this innovation finds one of its most advanced expressions. The stone, marble or granite door is made from a hollowed-out slab and integrated with an aluminum honeycomb panel in a thickness of 15 mm.
A solution that preserves the monolithic presence of the material while making it compatible with a high-performance design system. The result is a precise balance between material and technology, between visual intensity and constructive control. Stone does not lose its character, but enters the project with a new precision, paving the way for more rigorous surfaces, essential volumes and greater compositional freedom. It is in this ability to transform a notoriously heavy material into a lighter architectural presence that we recognize one of the most significant innovations of Modulnova research.

Blade 
Beyond the Limits
In this direction is the use of honeycomb aluminum, a technology that has found one of its most advanced expressions in the Blade door. The structural lightness of the panel makes it possible to obtain extremely thin, perfectly planar fronts that are also suitable for important dimensions. The design thus opens up to new proportions, vertical developments of great architectural intensity, and a precisely constructed formal continuity. This technology belongs to a broader vision of Modulnova research. Honeycomb aluminum becomes a transversal resource, applied to different programs to support materials, dimensions and solutions that together require stability, design control and compositional freedom.
Aluminum honeycomb
The Modulnova project thus overcomes the traditional limits of space configuration through research that integrates matter, architecture and technological innovation into a single system. Volumes extend, containment is amplified, and the surface area exceeds the usual size. Metal Blade doors generate continuous walls that can reach six meters in height. An aerospace-derived aluminum honeycomb structure, enclosed in just 1 cm thickness, supports this design tension with rigor, precision and construction skill.

Stoneware Technology
Modulnova has embarked on a journey of exploration and innovation in materials, experimenting with unconventional solutions that have become hallmarks of interior design. It is a journey oriented toward the continuous search for beauty, the overcoming of design limits and the creation of exclusive and timeless environments that express the essence of a unique and identity-driven design.
Stoneware, a material traditionally used in construction, was first introduced to the world of kitchens by Modulnova in 2006, later extending to living and bathroom environments. The company has developed a patented construction system that has made it possible to achieve results of aesthetic excellence while elevating the performance of the material, which, subjected to rigorous testing, ensures superior durability and strength.
Gres TECH is the innovative top made in three layers with a patented construction system that combines technique and craftsmanship: the 6 mm outer layer, consisting of the aesthetic slab, combined with two 4 mm layers, which act as a support, for a total thickness of 14 mm. Tech technology represents the result of great process innovation that makes the material extremely high-performance and increasingly aesthetically faithful to natural stone.
Tests on the construction of Gres Tech have confirmed six times the strength of traditional 12 mm stoneware. The front edge, made with folding technology, expands the design possibilities for a perfect continuity of vein, color and texture between top and edge, allowing for ever more realistic marble and stone effects.
With Gres Tech, a variety of elements can be made, such as integrated bathtubs with 45° joints, boxed tops (three-slatted and millerighe), countertop sides, boiserie, block basins, countertop basins, shower trays, and floor-integrated bathtubs.
Wood
Folding
Folding arises from manual workmanship that allows the wood to continue beyond the surface of the sash, accompanying the grain on edges and thicknesses with continuity and precision. This is an intervention that requires control, sensitivity and executive skill, so that the material maintains consistency throughout the volume. The result is a door in which front, edge and thickness belong to the same material construction. The wood acquires greater depth, the detail becomes more intense, the volume more compact and rigorous. A workmanship that transforms the naturalness of the material into a more evolved architectural presence.
Atelier 
System
The Atelier system transforms the surface into a space for design expression. The millings can generate vertical, horizontal lines, geometric fields or more complex designs, giving the project total compositional freedom. The wall thus becomes a true design surface, on which the design takes shape in relation to the proportions of the space and the volumes that pass through it. Doors and passageways are integrated into the texture of the surface, becoming part of the composition. The result is an architecture of great precision craftsmanship that recalls the quality of the paneling of historic mansions: surfaces designed with craftsmanship that organize the space and build its identity.
Glass
With the Glass door, Modulnova brings glass into a more advanced design dimension. Transparency meets rigor, lightness joins precision, the surface achieves a new visual continuity. Underlying this is a patented technology developed to integrate the structure within the system and minimize its perceptual presence. The result is a door in which technique recedes and purity emerges. Glass acquires a new freedom of expression, supported by a construction that amplifies its aesthetic strength without interrupting its essentiality. An innovation that transforms complexity into visual lightness and opens to a new idea of architectural elegance.
