Boffi Studio Made In Italy

Every day is design.

More than simply designs or furniture pieces, each Boffi item transcends the ordinary, the man-made to symbolise a way of living rather than just an object.

Created with this vision in mind, every Boffi item injects design into everyday life, making it a way of living. Nowhere is this approach more evident than at the company’s Cape Town showroom – the first Boffi mono-brand space on the continent.

Here, clients can experience the Boffi philosophy that merges Made-in-Italy designs with architectural know-how to create refined spaces that communicate not only to one another but also to the user, bringing the concept of design to life.

“If you fix the rules inside the furniture language, in the end, you are fixing the rules. I like to jump out and use some other rules. For that reason, I think it’s really special, the new language of Boffi, it’s not only furniture, it’s not only kitchens, it’s not only wardrobes or bookshelves –everything is connected with this new capacity to design houses, spaces or opportunities,” said architect Piero Lissoni of the brand.

While the showroom showcases all the brand’s newest collections what really draws the eye here is Boffi’s kitchen, bathroom, and wardrobe spaces – each carefully designed and styled to reflect the brand’s ethos that design is a way of living.

This includes the new CASE 5.0 kitchen from Piero Lissoni displayed together with the EVERYDAY LIFE collection designed by Paul Smith for De Padova, as well as the new CASE 5.0 bathroom.

“Boffi integrates creativity with advanced production and technology to produce products that are aesthetically minimal, state-of-the-art, and essentially useful,” said the company, highlighting the need to update the CASE designs with new innovative materials and finishes.

“If you think about the constant modification in everyday things such as our computers, we are always revitalising the everyday. In cars, you see the same sense of remodelling every six or seven months. We don’t follow the same timelines or modernise to the same rhythm, but we do more or less the same when we touch these old products,” Lissoni adds.

“In a way, we need to be gentle with them because otherwise, they become old in a few years, you need to retouch them, so they can be new. We are not in a fashion business, and thinking from another point of view, we don’t need to redesign collection and collection and collection. We just need to evolve the every day.”
