When "Minimalist Rationality" Meets "Modern Shanghai" — Boffi | DePadova's Largest Flagship Exhibition Hall in Asia Reopens in Fuxing Park

In the heart of the bustling city lies a romantic and serene rose garden. This French-style garden, established in the 1910s in downtown Shanghai, has witnessed nearly a century of Shanghai's cultural charm, the golden hustle and bustle of Fuxing Park in the millennium, and the entertainment avant-garde brought by today's INS paradise. As a leading Italian comprehensive home brand, Boffi | DePadova has created a new Boffi Home here with its unique minimalist design and sophisticated language. Following the opening of the first Asian Boffi Home here in 2016, the 2025 upgrade and expansion brings Boffi's beauty comparable to that of New York, Milan, and London. A gentle dialogue between the exhibition hall and urban history: the glass curtain wall invites light into the room, where the romance of the French rose garden merges with the world's representative minimalist art home cabinets, bathrooms, and wardrobes. There's no need to intricately weave spatial language; it's more like reconstructing order and aesthetics belonging to the contemporary era.

Architecture in the Garden: Spatial Narrative of Folded Time

The Boffi | DePadova Fuxing Park Exhibition Hall preserves historical textures, integrating glass curtain walls with minimalist facades. Natural light penetrates the skylights, blurring the boundary between interior and exterior, making the century-old garden's greenery the backdrop of the space — "This is not spatial reconstruction, but the folding of time." In the present of 2025, Fuxing Park remains a spiritual oasis for Shanghai's Gen Z young people. Trendy markets, hand-brewed coffee, skateboarders, and picnic camping interweave new life scenes under the shade of trees, allowing this century-old rose garden to radiate unique vitality in the eyes of the new generation. The presence of Boffi | DePadova responds to this cross-era life imagination with another scale and rhythm — providing a habitable and contemplative spiritual space between history and the contemporary era.

Circulation Design: An Immersive Living Theater

Rather than calling Boffi Studio Shanghai an exhibition hall, it is more like a theater stage about "contemporary life."

  • The first-floor space unfolds with a clear rhythm: starting with the 870kg solid stone bathtub and I Fiumi cabinetry that interpret bathroom aesthetics, stepping into the window circulation, the My Room concept area and Honoré sofa jointly演绎 a corner of home meditation. Extending to the social kitchen area — a gathering field constructed by the Cove Kitchen streamlined island, Hide Pro tall cabinet, and Apr60 island, stimulating communication and sharing among urban families.
  • Highlight: The My Room concept area uses the ADL glass door system to build a "flexible living space," echoing the needs of urbanites.

  • The second floor shifts to the spatial arrangement of privacy and contemplation: the K6 sliding island presents the flexible structure of modular kitchens, and the Antibes衣帽间 integrates storage and life order; the semi-outdoor contemplation area enclosed by rattan furniture and custom bookshelves provides a stopping心灵角落 for contemporary urbanites.

"We believe in tangible luxury." — Roberto Gavazzi, CEO of Boffi Group.

Every work in the exhibition hall embodies the brand's consistent "three beliefs": material innovation, craftsmanship evolution, and cultural integration:


  • The future language of non-ceramic bathrooms: Using artificial stones such as Corian® and Cristalplant® to achieve a balance between soft matte finish, extreme curved surfaces, and durability.

In the final bathroom exhibition area, the juxtaposition of the Faroe bathtub and the Pipe series showerhead is like a design confrontation between softness and rigidity, warmth and coldness, bringing a dramatic visual tension of strong conflict: it is both conflict and symbiosis.

Architectural Thinking in Details: The K14 handleless island, Levante light-shadow grille sliding door, etc., bring industrial aesthetics into home life, reshaping the scale of home space with architectural thinking.

  • Resonance of global craftsmanship: Integrating handcrafted woodwork from Time & Style and Italian-style rattan furniture from Bonacina 1889, paying tribute to global craftsmanship culture.

Not an Exhibition Hall, but a Manifestation Device of a Life Proposition

The significance of Boffi Studio Shanghai goes far beyond a sales space. It is the latest implementation of Boffi | DePadova's concept of "space as language, residence as proposition":

  • l Intelligent design system: Helium dimmable glass lamps, whole-house custom lighting modules, and flexible storage solutions respond to diverse urban life.
  • Ecological aesthetics: Such as the Madia cabinet made of reclaimed wood, responding to the design industry's sense of responsibility for environmental protection and recycled materials.
  • Systematic customization: Reconstructing the logic of "home" with modular thinking, meeting the current users' expectations for personalized and highly completed spaces.

The renovation and upgrade of Asia's largest flagship exhibition hall in front of the rose garden of Shanghai Fuxing Park will bring Chinese consumers who love aesthetics and high taste a more comprehensive product experience, more professional customization services, and a "lifestyle solution" with more warmth and height, allowing the concept of "design as life" to truly take root and grow.
