COVE KITCHEN
COVE KITCHEN
Designed by Zaha Hadid
Sinuosity and Simplicity in Design
A monobloc characterised by sinuous and simple shapes, which use malleable materials, such as Corian® . The Cove Kitchen was born from an idea of the pioneering mind of Zaha Hadid, in which the work island also becomes a place of conviviality between architectural rigour and philosophical concept.
The emblematic indicative shape evolves for Boffi’s 90th anniversary, providing for the coverage of the entire side of the island through two lateral sides with rounded corners and specific tops, with perimeter edges gently curved downwards.
The implementation of new materials such as Clay, matt lacquer and marble for the tops give new life to this iconic project. The perimeter plinth, also inclined, has the same finish as the doors.
FEATURES
BOFFI'S COVE KITCHEN IS MUCH MORE THAN JUST A KITCHEN
The kitchen is a work of art that transforms the home space into an extraordinary environment. With its sinuous shapes and innovative use of materials such as Corian®, this kitchen redefines the standards of contemporary design.
INNOVATION MEETS TRADITION IN A PERFECT BLEND
Conceived by the genius of Zaha Hadid, the fluid lines and the work island that becomes a social gathering point embody the essence of conviviality and functionality

“On the occasion of the 90th anniversary of Boffi – the made in Italy brand that embodies the elegance, craftsmanship and integrity of Italian design – the new idea of Cove Kitchen evolves from the original concept developed by Zaha Hadid Design in 2017. Following the intrinsic logic of the previous design, while offering the flexibility of a modular system, this new iteration is supported laterally by two panels with rounded edges, both with identical cross-sections, covering the entire side of the island.” – Zaha Hadid Design
FINISHES
FINISHES - CARCASS (BASE UNITS)
FINISHES - PLINTH
WORKTOP FINISHES - CORIAN , LACQUERED
It is a Solid Surface, non-porous and homogeneous, composed for about 1/3 of acrylic resin (polymethyl methacrylate or PMMA) and for about 2/3 of natural minerals consisting mainly of aluminium trihydrate (ATH), which is a mineral extracted from the bauxite used to produce aluminium.
WORKTOP FINISHES - STONE-MARBLE-GRANITE
Natural material extracted from quarry. Matt finish. The natural stones used by Boffi for the production of tops, panels, back panels, sinks, washbasins or bathtubs are always given a dedicated stain and oil-repellent and waterproof treatment to guarantee a high protection.
FRONT FINISHES - SILCOLAK
Water-based textured matt lacquer. The following features make SILCOLAK a top-quality finish :
-Water-based textured paint, bi-component and undiluted (not contaminated by external agents), designed and produced exclusively for Boffi. -Colour range, exclusive for Boffi. -Excellent chemical and physical resistance (tested in laboratories). -Very low yellowing effect over time. -Coat of isolating paint Primer and double layers of polyester plastering, ideal for reducing small imperfections on surfaces and allowing a better coverage. -Base coat of polyester. -Coat of isolating paint Primer for corners and edges. -Two paint coats, cross-applied.
FRONT FINISHES - ECOLAK
Water-based “soft touch” matt lacquer. Features : The following features make ECOLAK a top-quality finish: •
-Water-based “soft touch” paint, bi-component and undiluted (not contaminated by external agents), designed and produced exclusively for Boffi. -Colour range, exclusive for Boffi. • Excellent chemical and physical resistance – tested in laboratories. -Very low yellowing effect over time. -Coat of isolating paint Primer and double layers of polyester plastering, ideal for reducing small imperfections on surfaces and allowing a better coverage. -Base coat of polyester. -Coat of isolating paint Primer for corners and edges. -Two paint coats, cross-applied.
FRONT FINISHES - EASY METALS
Metal-effect lacquer. Easy Metals is a finishing that reproduces the typical effect of metallic surfaces, obtained by use of metal particles-enriched solvent-based paints. Variations in brightness (halos caused by the spread of the paint metal particles along the surface) make each piece a unique and exclusive.
FRONT FINISHES - METALS
Metal-effect lacquer. Metals is a special finishing which reproduces the typical effect of brushed metallic surfaces, rendered through a very precise and technical sequence of production cycles. The characteristic metallic effect of the surface is given by the alternation of manual and mechanical processes, by the quality of the metal particles-enriched solvent-based paints and by the complex drying procedure. The various shades of colour (halos caused by the spread of the paint chromium particles) and the succession of multi-directional brushing of the surface make each piece a unique and exclusive one.
