Piero Lissoni: 40 Years of Art Direction for Boffi
In 1986, Paolo Boffi foresaw the power of a distinct aesthetic identity, entrusting the creative direction to Piero Lissoni, an emerging young architect at the time.
Lissoni did not simply redefine the company image. Collaborating with the entrepreneurial vision of Roberto Gavazzi — President, CEO, and Owner — he forged a visual and design language destined to define the evolution of Boffi, transforming the kitchen into a truly architectural space rather than a merely functional one.
Together, they celebrated excellence, bringing the majesty and technology of professional kitchens into the home — defined by large islands and a timeless, formal rigor. This journey of research, sustained by an extraordinary intellectual connection across four decades, finds its ultimate expression today in the XPL kitchen model — a project that continues to define the horizon of international design.
