Boffi is synonymous with innovation and design applied to the kitchen, the bathroom and, since 2010, the closet. The only company in the kitchen sector to have won a Compasso d'Oro Special Award (1995), it has witnessed and influenced all the most important developmental stages in the sector. A new course began in the late 1980s when Paolo Boffi, the president, working alongside Roberto Gavazzi, CEO, and Piero Lissoni, the art director, took over the management. These men are still leading the company today. In 1998 Boffi Solferino opened a store dedicated to bathroom design. The company currently numbers 192 workers, 23 direct single-brand and 41 indirect single-brand stores.
