This newly built kitchen in Tenafly blends classic modern aesthetics with timeless elegance. A high-gloss white finish pairs beautifully with warm wood accents, creating a fresh, sophisticated atmosphere.
Crafted in Italy by Cesar, the kitchen features a minimalist layout with clean lines and purposeful functionality. The wood bar island serves as both a central gathering point and a visual divider, crafted from 2 1/2-inch thick rustic oak with a simple geometric form. It anchors the space and elegantly frames the cooking area, adding warmth and natural texture to the modern composition.
Interior designer Tamar Snir collaborated with the Modiani Kitchens design team to create a space tailored to a young family with an active, social lifestyle—balancing functionality for entertaining with refined, sophisticated design expectations.
Influenced by Japanese Zen aesthetics, the kitchen opens seamlessly into a spacious living and dining area. A dramatic 50-foot wall of sliding glass doors runs parallel to the space, connecting the interior to a serene backyard sanctuary with a pool—blurring the line between indoor calm and outdoor beauty.
