available in two sizes, ‘cove’ by zaha hadid for boffi revisits two of the architect’s projects: the MAXXI museum of art in rome and baku’s heydar aliyev center. centered around the practice’s experimental works investigating materiality and composition, ‘cove’ offers customization to the highest standards. the kitchen features a large countertop curved along a spacious hollow opening in the front, resulting in the perfect space to place stools and eat around it. drawers and cabinets are seamlessly integrated as well as a sink that has been embedded on top.
