We work at all scales and in all sectors. We create transformative cultural, corporate, residential and other spaces that work in synchronicity with their surroundings. Zaha Hadid, founding partner of Zaha Hadid Architects, was awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2004 and is internationally known for her built, theoretical and academic work. Each of her dynamic and innovative projects builds on over thirty years of revolutionary experimentation and research in the interrelated fields of urbanism, architecture and design. Working with senior office partner Patrik Schumacher, Hadid’s interest is in the rigorous interface between architecture, landscape, and geology as the practice integrates natural topography and human-made systems that lead to experimentation with cutting-edge technologies. Such a process often results in unexpected and dynamic architectural forms.

Welcome to Boffi official page on Linkedin. Boffi opened in 1934 as a small kitchen furniture workshop, growing and developing in the 50’s with the second family generation.The collaboration with important architects and designers, the search for more and more beautiful forms and technological innovations have made Boffi one of the reference brands in the prestigious Italian design world. It has won several awards for the design of its products, among which the most popular is the Compasso d’Oro ADI (Association for Industrial Design) for its career (1995). In the late 1980’s Boffi entered a new developing phase as Piero Lissoni became the Art Director and Roberto Gavazzi joined Paolo Boffi in the management of the company. From this point on Boffi achieved significant milestones, including the introduction of its bathroom brand, a fundamental step to enlarge the offer in the direct mono-brand showrooms in major cities all over the world. Internationalisation has lead the company to have more than 20 direct and 30 non direct flagship stores, with over 80% of the company’s turnover abroad. In the last five years, the company initiated a second brand extension: Boffi has enlarged its activities further into storage systems, completing the furniture range. In 2015 Boffi and De Padova reach an agreement for the integration of the two companies. United in a shared vision which aims to create a design platform of fully integrated and complementary excellence: from bathrooms to beds and storage systems, from kitchens to upholstered furniture and accessories. In 2017 De Padova signed a partnership with MA/U Studio, a Danish start-up which manufactures innovative furniture and shelving systems for both home and office spaces.
