Indoor Kitchens | Novanta

Design: Piero Lissoni

Novanta kitchen system

To celebrate Boffi’s anniversary, Piero Lissoni has designed the Novanta kitchen system. The recessed base, which serves as a support for the base units with finished panels, creates the illusion that the entire unit is floating above the floor. The tactile materials, from MDi to stainless steel, which cover the 300mm plinth, top and sides, are the perfect example to show how Boffi’s industrial design research has led to new types of architectural and material proposals.

Novanta Kitchen System by Piero Lissoni

In celebration of Boffi’s anniversary, Piero Lissoni has unveiled the Novanta kitchen system, a testament to the brand’s commitment to innovation and design excellence. This visionary system incorporates a recessed base, ingeniously serving as a support for the base units with finished panels. The result is a striking visual effect, creating the illusion that the entire unit is gracefully floating above the floor.

Pushing Boundaries with Tactile Materials and Industrial Design

The Novanta kitchen system showcases Boffi’s dedication to pushing boundaries in industrial design and material innovation. From MDi to stainless steel, tactile materials adorn the 300mm plinth, top, and sides, exemplifying the brand’s relentless pursuit of excellence. This fusion of form and function not only demonstrates Boffi’s mastery of industrial design but also underscores its commitment to shaping the future of architectural and material proposals.

“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.” – Piero Lissoni

Exclusive-appearance metal sheet obtained with special chemical and / or mechanical treatments. For generations the “mission” of De Castelli has been to enhance the natural metals such as iron, steel, brass and copper, making them unique thanks to dedicated and sophisticated mechanical or chemical treatments. The chromatic and aesthetic effects created are peculiar and highly distinctive. The metals of De Castelli are protected only by transparent paints, in full respect of the core of the metal used.

Metal-effect lacquer. Metals is a special finishing which reproduces the typical effect of brushed metallic surfaces, rendered through a very precise and technical sequence of production cycles. The characteristic metallic effect of the surface is given by the alternation of manual and mechanical processes, by the quality of the metal particles-enriched solvent-based paints and by the complex drying procedure. The various shades of colour (halos caused by the spread of the paint chromium particles) and the succession of multi-directional brushing of the surface make each piece a unique and exclusive one.

The polyester lacquering is carried out by a process of applying paints on MDF panels, with several coats. The surfaces are sanded with different coarse-grained and fine-grained sandpapers. Then they are polished using brushes impregnated with abrasive wax. The result obtained is a very glossy surface (close to the mirror effect) that reaches 95 gloss. Polyester is a very resistant material, practically waterproof; its surface does not absorb, but is sensitive to scratches. The scratched surface can be re-smoothed and re- polished or even repaired adding material and then by sanding and smoothing it again. Three layers of paint coat each surface, it means 900 g/m2 (ca. 1 mm thick); nine layers of paint coat each edge (ca. 3 mm thick). It is sensitive to light if directly exposed for very long periods. It can slightly change the tone, becoming lighter especially on light tones (family of whites). In case of element additions in a second moment, these tone changes cannot be perfectly replicated and may not match exactly the original shade. This issue cannot be considered cause for a complaint.

Wood layers, with support made of strip wood. Boffi uses only wood from not primary forests, to guarantee an adequate restoration of the renewable raw materials. Doors and panels have vertical grain. The “old“ grey pinewood consists of pinewood solid boards recycled from renovation of old houses, barns and huts. The characteristic grey tone of this material is obtained by specific painting cycles, which give the typical “old” aspect to this wood. Possible cracks and deformations have to be considered characteristic part of the product. Since these pieces are very unique, they have the typical appeal of “imperfect things“ and they clearly display sign of times and bad weather; therefore they show deformations and wrinkles strength. Worktops obtained with old wooden boards offer a clear example of the wood vitality and instability. For this reasons each piece in solid wood has to be considered considered “unique“ and different from all the other ones.
