Boffi|DePadova: an integrated system for contemporary living Founded in 1934, Boffi has evolved from a small artisan workshop into a global design brand. A turning point came in 1989 when Roberto Gavazzi took the lead, guiding the company towards a holistic approach to interior design—offering not just furniture, but a full way of living that blends aesthetics, function, and emotion.
Over the years, iconic collaborations and strategic choices—such as appointing Piero Lissoni as art director and redefining the distribution model—have reinforced Boffi’s leadership. In 2015, the acquisition of De Padova marked a new chapter: the creation of Boffi|DePadova, a unique platform that merges industrial production with artisanal sensitivity.

The group has since expanded with brands like MA/U Studio, ADL, Time & Style ēdition, and a creative partnership with Paul Smith—always staying true to its design vision while embracing innovation. Its showrooms, conceived as immersive spaces, reflect a refined and tailored approach to living.
Today, under the guidance of Roberto Gavazzi and Chiara Tombari, Boffi|DePadova continues to shape the future of design, combining Italian heritage with global ambition and a strong cultural commitment.
