With XO, Elisa Ossino reinterprets the timeless Xila from 1972
A linear, balanced and never predictable design distinguishes the projects of Elisa Ossino who designed the XO kitchen for Boffi.
This model is inspired by the timeless Xila kitchen designed by Luigi Massoni in 1972, which featured a door with a groove and no handles. The designer, drawing on her own creative leitmotif, worked on the contrast of strong volumes and thin thicknesses, with geometries that combine with strong lines and delicate edges.
For the top, Breccia Imperiale stone was used, material and with warm shades. The tops and side panels function as a refined tactile portal that projects three centimetres, framing the handle-free doors, which touch the floor for the first time.
The conviviality function is guaranteed by a peninsula in solid American Elm or oil-treated Ash wood, characterized by a circular shape with a bevelled edge and a sculptural curve of the foot.
The same collection includes columns, sideboards with shoulders and tops defined by the same overhang as the kitchen.
