Kitchenology

Boffi’s Kitchenology collections seek to create a distinct way of living. They are the result of experimentation and high-end manufacturing that is in constant evolution: a vigorous search for beauty and functionality across interior and exterior kitchens.

The Cove Kitchen by Zaha Hadid.

Originally launched in 2017 as a limited edition and renewed in 2024 to mark Boffi’s 90th anniversary, Cove, (pictured above) evolves further in 2025 with new finishes for doors and countertops. It embodies the unmistakable ethos of its designer, Zaha Hadid, defined by sinuous and dynamic forms.

The Novanta kitchen by Piero Lissoni.

Also new from Boffi is the Novanta kitchen (pictured above), designed by Piero Lissoni. Its recessed base creates the illusion that the entire unit is floating above the floor.

“Novanta is a very architectural kitchen designed with a different scale, almost as if it were a suspended building. It is made up of horizontal elements, the islands on which one works, and perpendicular containment elements, just like a city that develops both horizontally and vertically. In this way, we’ve left the world of the design product to enter into the world of the architectural product.”

Tactile, linear, and utterly compelling.
