A WAY OF LIVING Boffi is the story of a manufacturing endeavour started in 1934 where the key players remain the artisans, with their manual skills and know-how, who are able to shape premium materials into forms that stand out for their quality and beauty. It starts off with gestures, manual skills, environments, places, tools and the machines worked by those who come into contact with materials and transform them. This high-level approach to design involves systems operating as homogeneous units to express an architectural vernacular for interiors. By applying a bespoke concept, Boffi...

Ninety years of experience linked to the manufacturing of high-end furniture has allowed Boffi to develop a unique entrepreneurial skill set and a preeminent design culture. Today, it is the hub of a carefully selected network of artisans specialising in niche tasks and manufacturing. In fact, there is an exact science required to work the materials that is expressed in the precise gestures of artisans working with their hands. From design to implementation, each Boffi manufacturing phase is undertaken with the utmost care and undergoes a series of checks on the structure and finish to...

The creative and entrepreneurial leadership of Boffi is able to transmit today the same passion as those who founded the brand. The solid foundation of this project is thanks to its personnel, who are an essential resource for this Made in Italy reality that is indelibly linked to the contemporary history of design. This story begins inside a small artisan workshop. Each evening, the creative spark was lit as Piero Boffi experimented, researched and executed pieces. The year was 1934 and the first inklings of what would become systems that would go on to be part of the history of furniture...

Boffi means experimentation and high-end manufacturing that is in constant evolution. It is a vigorous search for beauty and functionality. It looks to create a distinct way of living.

Marked by a refined and understated interior style, Boffi indoor kitchens create a visual experience with projects designed to become architectural statements. The models reinterpret tradition to offer versatile systems capable of concealing shapes and functions or emphasising them with exclusive materials. Indoor Kitchens

The Value of Materials: APRILE indoor kitchen DESIGN: PIERO LISSONI

Aprile is a kitchen designed to enhance the use of natural materials on surfaces. The model offers innovation with exclusive treatments for woods together with stainless steel and stones as well as special solutions featured in worktops and snack counters with innovative thicknesses. Doors and fronts are characterised by a subtle recess on the upper portion that aligns perfectly with the countertop.

Conceived for an open living area, the APR60 model serves those in need of a rational, streamlined design. Its clean, precise lines and functional elements are customisable to suit different spaces and styles. The base units with hobs, sinks and undercounter storage with doors or drawers are enhanced with boiserie equipped with shelves and cabinets offered in open or closed versions.

indoor kitchen Design Revolution: CASE 5.0 design: piero lissoni

design revolution Revisiting the shapes of an icon means carefully updating the project to suit contemporary tastes. The creative language of Piero Lissoni, together with Boffi, reinterprets the kitchen system first conceived in 2002 with new materials, prominent shapes and lacquered finishes that match textural components. The kitchen taps into tradition and innovation.

Rethinking the Form: COMBINE EVOLUTION i n d o or k i tch e n

The Combine Evolution model was conceived with the aim of integrating into a single model the features of the compact kitchen and the island kitchen. It consists of one, two or three monobloc units with pull-out drawers with specific functions and freedom of composition, including the possibility to integrate the dining area into the kitchen space between two single-units or by using the countertop. These solutions emphasise the formal and aesthetic beauty of compact, linear design.

The Migration of Shapes: COVE KITCHEN i n d o or k i tch e n

The Cove Kitchen is a monobloc piece derived from sinuous and simple lines using malleable materials such as Corian and wood. Employing architectural rigor and a forward-thinking concept, the design comes from the pioneering mind of Zaha Hadid and sees the work island doubling as a place for entertaining. The distinctive shape now evolves for the 90th anniversary of Boffi by covering the kitchen island with two side panels with rounded corners and countertops with perimeter edges gently curved downwards.

Norbert Wangen conceived the first kitchen system with a laterally sliding top to revolutionise the compact kitchen and introduce various shapes and sizes to adapt to modern living. K2 originates from a standalone monobloc that contains all the necessary elements for cooking concealed within a sliding countertop with distinctive 30° chamfered edges that is used for food prep and dining space.

The K5 model is a single unit with an impactful design with a sliding countertop to create a surface that offers visual uniformity and linearity. Multiple materials are utilised to create a unit where cooking, washing up and entertaining all take place in a single, multifunctional space. The distinctive sliding mechanism of the K series by Norbert Wangen frees up the operational elements and allows the kitchen island to serve as a peninsula.

K6 reinterprets the K series in two versions: a single monobloc or articulated in two sections separating cooking and washing up duties. The characteristic feature of both versions is the functional sliding countertop that moves back to serve as an overhanging surface while revealing the kitchen elements tucked inside the unit.

K14 is a system of handle-free base units where the opening of the fronts and doors is accessed thanks to the 30° bevelled edge, the same detail seen on the countertop and which creates a sense of lightness. For 2024, the new K14 design features end panels that permit a functional snack area while underneath the seated area the marble extends down to sit just two centimetres off of the floor.
