Before Piero Lissoni released his Latina kitchen for Boffi in 1992, Italian kitchens were largely known for their modularity and slick industrial materials, such as steel and lacquered metals or woods. Lissoni further elevated that aesthetic by mixing in hardwoods and stone, and bringing a softer, warmer modernism to cabinetry and countertops. Such contract and juxtaposition was a game-changer at the time and is arguably his signature style today. “I like to be soft but also hard, minimal but dramatic, precise but consequential,” Lissoni says.
