Lightweight, resistant and beautiful to look at: aluminum, natural and with colored lacquered finishes, is one of the most used materials when it comes to design kitchens.
The aluminum claddings are characterized by an elegant and modern look, perfect for industrial and contemporary style environments, and ideal for those who want to make spaces homogeneous and pleasant to the eye.
Aluminum, in its simplicity, is practical to handle, robust and completely recyclable, moreover, it is not subject to corrosion. All these elements make it a quality material, suitable for indoor and outdoor environments.
Let's find out more about the minimalist look of the most famous three kitchen models made up of aluminum claddings.
Frame and Blade, two kitchen models proposed by MODULNOVA srl, merge to create an innovative system, conceived by the designers Carlo Presotto and Andrea Bassanello.

This linear kitchen is made up of monobloc modules that can be combined with each other, ideal for configuring areas of different kinds, based on the functionality of the accessories.
The large central Frame island, in between the Blade doors with the Ghost system, can be extremely simple or, on the other hand, fully equipped.
Behind the island there is also the Float sideboard (on the wall), made with glass doors and metal frame.
In the Frame model, the essentiality that characterizes the Modulnova collections is softened by a thin frame, which, in addition to emphasizing the profile of the doors, houses the recessed handles.

This detail gives greater linearity and elegance to the spaces, decorating them with a sort of boiserie revisited in a contemporary style.
Also in Frame, the doors are made of aluminum honeycomb, therefore, they can be easily combined with the other furnishing proposals of Modulnova, such as, for example, Blade, an iconic kitchen designed by the brand whose peculiarity is the smoothness of the door.

Frame-Blade is a real project within the project, whose purpose is to make the spaces more functional and exclusive and, at the very same time, give them uniformity and elegance.
Thanks to its accessories this system becomes an integral part of the architecture, respecting and enhancing its volumes.
The Maya kitchen was first designed in 2004 by Alberto Minotti, art director of the Minotticucine. Its peculiarity is the modern and compact look, extremely minimalist.

This aesthetic linearity embodies the concept of visual silence, the philosophy behind the production of Minotticucine, according to which it is necessary to eliminate all the elements or details that can be removed, as they would create discontinuities.

Made of stone and light or dark burnished aluminum, this kitchen can be composed of single base units, both suspended and countertop, and double-deep base units.
The modules are characterized by a minimalist design and sculptural lines, thanks to the aluminum cladding and the stone heart.
Everything is reduced to a minimum, but it is extremely functional: the handles and grooves disappear, giving way only to accessories that seem suspended, even if they are solid and perfectly anchored to the ground.
Today, thanks to the continuous stylistic evolution of Minotticucine, the aluminum door of the Maya kitchen is offered in a new, minimalist and precious guise, given by the 24K gold finish.
The use of gold was possible thanks to the expertise and technical and artistic ability of the craftsmen who took care of this particular model.

The thin thickness of the aluminum doors and the possibility of alternating suspended, ground and low bases, give the Maya kitchen a light and elegant aesthetic.
The doors can be opened or closed thanks to a 7 mm protrusion from the stone top.

The new Mayan kitchen in gold and stone in a green-blue nuance, evokes the aesthetics of jewels and sculptures made by the Mayan population, works of inestimable value and unique in the whole world.

In addition to the 24K gold finish, the company is working on the development of other noble metals and the creation of various aluminum colors, which will be added to the current ones.
