Novanta Kitchen System – Boffi

Designed by
Piero Lissoni

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 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
