About the Organizers
In the world of modern furnishing, Boffi is synonymous with innovation in the kitchen and bathroom sector. Awarded the Compasso d’oro alla carriera in 1995, Boffi is established as a leader within the industry. From its earliest beginnings, Boffi identified creativity, production and entrepreneurship as its core strategic principles and integrated these into all its production decisions and operating processes. The company policy was defined by the Boffi brothers, Dino, Paolo and Pier Ugo, who in the 1950s, whilst developing their father Piero’s concepts, combined the company’s creativity with advanced production and technology techniques. At this time Dino was the ‘face’ of the company and one of the leaders in the new Italian design; he began to collaborate with expert modernism designers, such as Asti, Favre and Casé, who designed the revolutionary Series C and T12 kitchens.
Other significant milestones in Boffi’s history included appointing Luigi Massoni as art director in 1960, and collaborations with Joe Colombo, Confalonieri graphics, the Ottagono magazine and the company club experience, Mobilia. In the late 1980’s Boffi entered a new phase when Piero Lissoni and Roberto Gavazzi joined Paolo Boffi in the company management.
During this time Boffi’s original strategic principles were further defined and developed. A strong focus was placed on the relationship between the company and the designers working with it and a conscious decision was made to continue to advance the company’s design culture while meeting increased demand from clients.
Boffi has achieved some significant results since Lissoni and Gavazzi joined the company, including the creation of a complete bathroom concept, with both production and distribution; the opening of Boffi flagship stores in major cities all over the world including BY concept stores that see Boffi partner with Porro and Living Divani; presentations of Boffi products to international markets in dedicated spaces and exhibitions outside the Milan furnishing exhibition and the acquisition of Norbert Wangen, an top quality German brand.
