One network, one design, one philosophy

Q: Can you tell us about your experience in the industry and how it has influenced your approach to design?

A: I have been living and breathing the industry for decades, and owning the Boffi Studio agency for almost 17 years. This has given me a wealth of knowledge, creativity, and understanding of the needs of collaborators and clients.

Being involved in the forefront of design comes with excitement, passion, and dedication to delivering something special for the client. Working with leading collaborators and designers both in New Zealand and around the world has exposed me to the very best this amazing industry has to offer.

Q: Can you explain the philosophy behind Boffi | De Padova and how it sets itself apart from other design companies?

A: Boffi | De Padova is a leading provider of integrated interior design solutions emphasizing sophistication and modern elegance. The design portfolio of the group consists of six core brands: Boffi, De Padova, MA/U Studio, ADL, Paul Smith, and Time & Style edition - all under one umbrella and provided by our local Boffi Studio.

Each brand has its own distinct identity and is dedicated to enduring Italian design that never compromises on quality. The comprehensive set of interior design proposals from Boffi | De Padova offers a unique synergy.

Individual pieces within each of the six brands’ collections are designed as standalone objects of essential beauty and rigorous craftsmanship yet combine seamlessly with other elements in the product offering to create distinctive interior scenes marked by a refined contemporary aesthetic.

Q: How does Boffi | De Padova offers a full solution for luxury homes, and what sets it apart from other design companies?

A: Boffi | De Padova offers the whole package, merging their incredibly high standard technology and finishes together, offering the full solution for the luxury home.

No other company is doing what Boffi | De Padova is doing, hence we are leading the world and offering what others cannot. Each brand has its own special design, and with the collaboration of all the fundamental finishes, its products offer a combination that is world-class.

Merging ADL doors with Boffi kitchens has given our clients something special that will provide beautiful functionality that will last a lifetime. Boffi offers that point of difference, which has been well-documented throughout the world.

Q: How does Boffi | De Padova achieve a cohesive look and feel for the home, and what is the role of collaboration in this process?

A: Where else can you go where you can combine bathrooms, tapware, kitchens, doors, and furniture from one brand to create a beautiful cohesive look that strikes such a luxury high-end feel but overall one that is relaxed for not only the family to enjoy but also to entertain with that effortless feel.

As mentioned each brand has its own strengths …

Boffi | De Padova delivers a complementary assortment of modern furnishings composed of highly customizable kitchen, bathroom, and wardrobe systems from Boffi; an understated stand-alone furniture and lighting collection from De Padova; Fun and functional indoor/outdoor designs by talented Paul Smith adaptable shelving systems and minimalist furnishings from MA/U Studio and technically sophisticated door and partition solutions from ADL.

Collaboration is essential to achieving this cohesive look and feel, and Boffi | De Padova seeks out respected partners in the world of contemporary design each year to evolve the group's sophisticated offering of modern furniture. For 2020, the group collaborated with Time & Style, a modern Japanese furniture brand that develops solid wood furnishings using traditional craft techniques.

Together, the brands pursue the same creative approach, focusing on quality rather than trends to promote design that will be appreciated today and in twenty years’ time.
