The high-end Italian set the fashion for handle-free kitchens and black timber ceiling fans which you’ve seen in all the magazines.  And you’ll get a load of style for your money with its latest award-winning kitchens that come with lots of extras that have to be seen to be believed.  

Take a look at the Salinas kitchen by Patricia Urquiola which has bagged the 2015 Wallpaper Design Award and 2015 EDIDA Best Kitchen gong.  

It’s a modular system that you tailor to your own requirements, taste and environment using aluminium-frame door components that you can coat with metal, concrete or paperstone and benchtops in ceramic, lavastone or lasermat.  

Then there’s  jumbo stone sinks,  peninsula solid timber tables (sliding or fixed) and extra-long utensil rails that do away with the need for overhead cupboards.  

A big fave with leading international architects and designers, Boffi is the place to spend up big.

Other kitchen companies have tried to copy its five-star style but never succeeded in replicating its fab mitred 30-degree floating stone benchtops or striking material mixes (think Tuscan stone tops with stainless steel cupboards for its hugely popular K14 kitchen series). Go to be inspired.
