Our mission

Nouvell’s values are rooted in a clear belief: design should bring happiness and well-being to those who experience the kitchen. We create spaces that evoke emotion, inspire passion, and connect people through design that goes beyond functionality.

We deliver a first-class service, where every visit becomes a welcoming and enjoyable experience. Nouvell is a place to talk about design, exchange ideas, and enjoy a cup of coffee in an environment that invites conversation.

We believe in building personal, long-lasting relationships with our clients, based on trust, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of their vision.

Company History

Nouvell was born from the growing demand in Costa Rica for more avant-garde and sophisticated design solutions. Our journey began with the import of iconic brands such as Poggenpohl and Miton, and we were pioneers in introducing Poggenpohl to the country in 1982.

From the very beginning, an architectural approach has been at the core of our philosophy. Our architects conceive the kitchen as a space that must respond precisely to criteria of functionality, innovation, and spatial coherence, integrating seamlessly into the overall language of the home.

For Nouvell, the kitchen is more than a space—it is the center of life, where design, architecture, and everyday experience converge.

About us

Nouvell is a design boutique specialized in the curation of avant-garde furniture brands from around the world. We represent leading names such as Miton, Arrital, BC3, Poggenpohl, and Valcucine, selected for their excellence in design, innovation, and quality.

Our approach is defined by a constant pursuit of what is most relevant in contemporary design. We actively participate in major international trade fairs to identify designers and manufacturers shaping future trends, bringing those visionary proposals to the Costa Rican market.

The name Nouvell is inspired by the concept of what is new and by the vision of architect Jean Nouvel, reflecting our commitment to innovation and the continuous evolution of design.

We understand the kitchen as an architectural expression that must engage in dialogue with the home as a whole. For this reason, every Nouvell project is developed with a comprehensive approach, ensuring that the architectural vision is fully integrated and realized with coherence, sophistication, and precision.

Our difference

Architectural innovation applied to furniture design is one of Nouvell’s core pillars. Achieving this requires maintaining close, ongoing relationships with brands that are developing new solutions and redefining the standards of contemporary design.

For this reason, Nouvell does not work with a single brand. Each architect and each client demands unique, tailored solutions that are coherent with their vision and the specific requirements of their project. Our strength lies in offering a carefully curated portfolio, guided by an architectural mindset.

We represent companies from Germany, Italy, Spain, and Indonesia, and complement these offerings with locally sourced materials, allowing us to deliver comprehensive, flexible, and highly specialized solutions for every client.
