DXV Modulus was designed with a clear goal: to craft a modern luxury suite that highlighted an urban point of view. The designers aimed for a warm, inviting vibe, emphasizing sleek lines and pure forms to appeal to affluent city-dwellers and high-end hospitality specifiers. The collection offers maximum installation flexibility for residential and commercial spaces with innovative storage solutions showcasing unique material composition.
What sets DXV Modulus apart is its functional elegance and breathless style. The collection offers infinite possibilities and endless configurations, all from one modular and flexible system. This allows for the design of a space as unique as the people who use it. The suite is all about customization and modularity, providing building blocks for the consumer to configure to their space and tastes.
The realization of DXV Modulus involved on-trend solid surface construction for sinks and shower bases, with sinks also offered in an engaging concrete model. Furniture pieces are constructed from natural oak wood veneers; vanities and wall-mount drawers feature genuine nubuck leather pull handles. Lavatory faucets feature cast brass spouts and side valves, and also include a decorative brass ring at the base to offer a distinctive, two-toned aesthetic.
The DXV Modulus suite was developed over two years in the Company's industrial design studio in New York City. The design team, consisting of Jean-Jacques L’Henaff, Christophe Bucher, and Gabriela Ravassa, faced the challenge of experimenting with new materials and finishes, drawing inspiration from architectural icons such as the Glass House and the Lever House.
The DXV Modulus collection has been recognized for its exceptional design and innovation, winning the Platinum A' Bathroom Furniture and Sanitary Ware Design Award in 2018. This award recognizes world-class, exceptional, and highly innovative designs that showcase unmatched professionalism, genius, and contribute to societal wellbeing. It is awarded to the defining aesthetics of an era, advancing the boundaries of art, science, design, and technology, and making the world a better place.
