The extensive history of Italian design traces back to a small artisan workshop in Monza Brianza, known as the ‘land of the lakes.’ The founder, Piero Boffi, started as an aircraft craftsman by day and a kitchen innovator by night. His first creation, a kitchen cabinet for his sister’s wedding, was a surprising success, ultimately giving birth to the brand Boffi.

From then, the company introduced a diverse range of kitchen solutions, from pioneering the first colored kitchen cabinet in the market to developing modular cabinets with a handleless design. These innovations allowed for seamless integration of appliances, forming a comprehensive kitchen system. This sparked a revolution in kitchen design and everyday living.
