"The only way of fighting off the competition is to be innovative, both in materials and functions."

Those are the words of Paolo Boffi, Chairman of Boffi. He established Boffi as a craftsman's workshop in 1934 and after 73 years he still think the same: the only and the best way to stay in business is constant searching for ideas, materials and functions. Paolo Boffi and his CEO and main owner Roberto Gavazzi really know how to do a good job. The strategy of Boffi was to keep Boffi manufacturing workshop small with about 100 workers and few designers. Today, approximately 20 designers around the world work part-time job for Boffi and the results are most known kitchens and inspired bathrooms.

After he set the standard of Italian kitchen style, Boffi start with bathrooms in 1980s. Great help comes from two great designers: Dutch designer Marcel Wanders and Japanese Naoto Fukasawa. Both of them make a Boffi known by bathroom. But, this is not just the ordinary bathroom; their bathrooms are pieces of art. Dutchman designer Marcel Wanders signed the industrial shower and Japanese Naoto Fukasawa signed "waterfall" bathtub.

Their leading clients come from the USA, France, Europe and Southeast Asia.
