Boffi is an Italian brand specializing in the production of
designer kitchens,
bathroom furniture and
cabinet and
bookcase systems. The company's history began in 1934 in a small village in the heart of Brianza, an area where the artisan vocation in furniture production is centuries old. Piero Boffi, the progenitor, built “modern” kitchens in his workshop, and soon involved his sons Dino, Pier Ugo and Paolo in the enterprise. Success transformed the workshop into the first factory, which opened in Cesano Maderno in 1947. In the 1960s, under the leadership of first art director Luigi Massoni, revolutionary ideas and projects came to life, including
Joe Colombo's Minikitchen, exhibited at Moma in New York. The launch of the line dedicated to the bathroom dates back to the 1980s, and the beginning of the collaboration with Antonio Citterio, who signed the Factory collection. In 1990
Piero Lissoni became the new artistic director. From then on, thanks to an entrepreneurial strategy and a creative and innovative spirit, the steady rise of the brand in the international market begins. Awards certify Boffi's relevance, starting with the Compasso d'Oro Career Award 1995, followed by the Red Dot Design Award 2004 for Cut faucets and the Good Design Award 2007 for Piero Lissoni's Table System kitchen. Prestigious collaborations enrich the catalog, such as the one with
Fantini, which resulted in the
Aboutwater collection of bathroom faucets and showerheads. Or the merger with design furniture brand
De Padova in 2015, and two years later, the partnership with Danish start-up MA/U Studio. With its 60 single-brand showrooms in more than 60 countries around the world, Boffi also offers a design, consulting and support service that can solve any aesthetic and technical-functional problem in the most optimal way.
Boffi, indoor and outdoor kitchens with exclusive design
The catalog of
Boffi kitchens is divided within the proposals for indoor and outdoor. A synthesis of creative passion and innovation, while respecting tradition, Boffi creates customizable and made-to-measure kitchen collections, thanks to a wide range of sizes and finishes and the best materials on the market: wood, steel, stone and marble, to which is added the new material Clay, a textural paste spread manually by spatula, composed of raw clay and resin. We begin with the brand new
Novanta kitchen, designed by Piero Lissoni to celebrate the company's 90th anniversary. A kitchen that appears as a floating element, thanks to the set-back base, 30cm high, and that anticipates the future by suggesting new solutions in the definition of spaces. The anniversary also becomes an opportunity to present the evolution of the
one-piece island kitchen Cove, designed by Zaha Hadid in 2017. The new version sees the edges of the block rounded off and the introduction of tops with a new shape, with rounded and beveled edges. Inspired by the
Xila kitchen, designed by Luigi Massoni in 1972, the
XO kitchen, designed by Elisa Ossino, is distinguished by its sculptural shape, a combination of the parallelepiped island block and the rounded snack top. The thick worktop is back in vogue, here declined in natural Breccia Imperiale stone, which dialogues with the oil-treated solid wood of the snack top. For
outdoor kitchens, Boffi extends the K collection of indoor kitchens, designed by Norbert Wangen. The K2, K3 and K4 models are joined by the newcomer, the
K6 outdoor kitchen, made in steel or Corian® versions.
Beyond kitchens: Boffi solutions for bathroom furniture and cabinets
Boffi's catalog extends quality, innovation and sophistication from kitchens to bathroom furniture and cabinet systems. Prominent among the new products is the reissue of the
I Fiumi collection, designed by Claudio Silvestrin, a true program that includes washbasin cabinets, storage units and shelves to furnish the bathroom. The new one-piece washbasin sports a new sculptural shape in the column, made of wood and shaped to rest on the curve of the Rubicone stone washbasin. New proposals also enrich the Case 5.0 collection, designed by Piero Lissoni in 2003. The shapes that characterize the kitchen are the basis of the furniture solutions, integrated with the
Case 5.0 freestanding bathtub and the Case 5.0 oval countertop sink, both in marble. Prominent among the cabinet systems is the
Antibes range, also by Piero Lissoni, a program that includes several solutions. The Antibes modular wall closet stands out for its minimalist style and the wide variety of choices in finishes and elements, such as drawers, shelves, closed or open storage compartments, declined in different sizes. The collection also offers a walk-in closet complete with boiserie and a partition system. The Antibes System modular system extends the concept to bookcases, so as to allow the creation of wall-mounted bookcases without backs, equipped with a characteristic frame with a contrasting finish that goes to frame specific areas, such as the integrated desk or TV compartment.
