“As TM Italia continues to grow globally, we’re dedicated to expanding our reach by giving designers more opportunities to interact with our products, our team and draw inspiration from our showroom displays,” said TM Italia CEO Gianluca Tondi. “Our move to the Flatiron District follows the growing demand and market in NYC, offering designers, architects and more to visit and connect with us in a more centrally located neighborhood.”
A jewel box of a space peacefully situated on the fifth floor, the 1200 square foot atelier takes visitors on a journey through TM Italia’s myriad offerings, styles, and customizations. An entertaining kitchen welcomes visitors, with an oversized island featuring raised technical controls. Guests then move past an intimate and modern wine storage room lit with a halo of light to honor any oenophile’s collection, as well as an integrated work space that can be closed off to blend into the surrounding panels. The back of the showroom is anchored by a large family kitchen in contrasting tones of rich green and deep merlot, with an elegant wood table extending the grand island. The handle-less, push-open drawers maintain the kitchen island’s refined marble aesthetic. Hidden storage also conceals TM Italia’s extensive range of finishes, hardware, lighting, and other customizations. As visitors loop back toward the showroom’s entrance, they encounter the fully functional urban chic kitchen, offering an authentic TM Italia experience and featuring Miele appliances, a built-in bar, a smart, expandable island designed with city living in mind, and a Water Academy display, showcasing Italy’s finest waters. Tucked away adjacent to the fully functional kitchen, the showroom design incorporates a discreetly integrated office area, providing a dedicated and private workspace for the showroom personnel to manage operations and client interactions seamlessly.
The new atelier is a direct reflection of the brand’s limitless design opportunities— a signature of the family-owned and -operated brand for over three decades. Each kitchen showcases attention to detail, the latest technology and stylistic trends, and an Italian eye for refinement and modernity. The beautiful shades of the Italian landscape and heritage serve as design inspiration for the showroom’s overall composition, and are integrated with the NYC urban atmosphere.
