CASE 5.0 BECOMING By Boffi
Collection: Case 5.0
Designer: Piero Lissoni
Manufacture year: 2022
Type: Fitted kitchen
Case 5.0 Becoming is a modular kitchen. The 5 cm thickness of the Case 5.0 cabinet doors — enclosing the natural walnut wood drawers — incorporates an 8 mm section that frames it, becoming its handle. The thickness and mass of the doors endow it with a special tactile sense of solidity. The handle strips with the same finish as the base cabinets reinforce the units’ continuity. The cabinets feature pull-out doors, not hinged, and 9 cm side support panels. The countertop is relatively thin — 1.2 to 2 cm. — establishing a contrast with the much thicker cabinet doors. This year, new features are being introduced: cantilevered kitchen peninsulas extending up to 180 cm. and new materials for doors and countertops such as MDi by Inalco with new and exclusive colors, Lost Woods – indian rosewood, datuk ebony and teak and such absolute novelties — selected by Piero Lissoni — as Easy Metals and glossy polyesters. Last but certainly not least: Inside System Track, the equipped track integrated into the countertops offering cutlery and utensil trays and holders for knives, spices, cutting boards, oil bottles and hood. It come in two versions: recessed and in-between two tops. Twenty years separate the original Case 5.0 system from its newest offering. During this time, technology and design have advanced considerably, allowing Boffi and Piero Lissoni the opportunity to do further research and receive feedback from the client. The reinterpretation of forms resulted in an evolution towards the Case 5.0 - Becoming in 2022. This year, one can now find additonal functional and aesthetic features. For example, now there is the option of having cabinet doors built specifically for CASE 5.0 in 6mm glass with a folding effect in which the glass covers the entire structure of the door and front handle to give continuity to the material. Four shades of the applicable reflective glass are offered: coffee, grey, black and dove grey. These new finishes are joined by the new spatulated resin that can be applied to the doors in the color variants Hydra, Columbia, Pegaso, Lyra and Andromeda. Boffi also introduces for the CASE 5.0 the CASE 5.0 Sliding peninsulas equipped with a frame with sliding guides, mounted directly on the kitchen top, that allow for three types of sliding: lateral, frontal and oblique to create cantilevered areas that are practical for food prep and service. The dimensions of CASE 5.0 allow for sinks of equal importance and capacity. As a result, there are new configurations in stainless steel, or as an undertop in marble, MDi composite by Inalco and granite. The property of the materials permits them to be moulded into a single basin with strainer, double basin or 1- meter sink in addition to the basins already present in the Boffi offer.
