Time & Style ēdition designed for Boffi | DePadova presents a contemporary evolu-
tion of traditional Japanese wood artisanship. For over two decades, the Japanese
design brand Time & Style has gone to great lengths to promote the country’s
long-standing traditions and skills linked to carpentry.
In the forests of Hokkaido, the northernmost of Japan’s islands, the freezing winters
slow the growth of trees, allowing for the production of high quality, dense timber
and the development of woodworking techniques. Time & Style taps into time-hon-
ored customs practiced by carpenters and artisans involved in the construction of
Japanese shrines and temples with a history extending back over a millennium. This
legacy is a major source of inspiration for Time & Style as it seeks to create a collec-
tion of modern furniture marked by authenticity and a deep appreciation for the past.
Time & Style ēdition furniture communicates the discreet elegance of traditional
Japanese wood artisanship through a contemporary perspective that emphasizes
the timeless quality of each design. The collection, including low tables and chairs in
solid wood and light fixtures with shades made from traditional Japanese washi
paper, offers an eclectic assortment of contemporary Japanese furniture that pairs
harmoniously with the sophisticated products by Boffi | DePadova. Individual pieces
from the Time & Style ēdition complement the Boffi | DePadova range of contempo-
rary interior solutions in a symbiotic relationship, wherein every product maintains
its own identity while enhancing the overall interior space.
The restrained beauty of the Time & Style ēdition points to the importance of Japa-
nese artisanship. The design process begins first and foremost with identifying the
features of the material. The Time & Style ēdition focuses on making quality,
long-lasting design that cites the language of classical Japanese design and high-
lights the tactile qualities of solid wood. The attention to detail and emphasis on
artisanship is in line with the principles pursued by Boffi | DePadova in its efforts to
create a well-curated and distinctive selection of refined modern furnishings to
accommodate every corner of the home.
The philosophy of the Time & Style ēdition aligns perfectly with the interior design
concepts developed by Boffi | DePadova throughout its history. Italian and Japanese
design cultures have always shown profound respect for age-old handicrafts, shar-
ing a vision to ensure unparalleled quality in products through painstaking efforts
and a deep commitment to exquisite artisanship. The timeless aesthetic of the collec-
tion meets the demands of contemporary living yet never loses sight of its origins.
