He is renowned for his furniture, which fuses neoclassical and Art Deco styles with the principles of modernism. His creations, often unsigned, are therefore difficult to identify.Aimed at the Milanese elite of the 1930s, Buffas works are handcrafted in noble materials, giving them a quality comparable to that of French Art Deco master Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann. By collaborating with skilled cabinetmakers, Buffa introduced modern, streamlined techniques into his work, increasing his output. His style clearly evolved towards a more contemporary aesthetic, moving from intricately ornamented neoclassical furniture to the more streamlined armchairs and consoles of the 1960s. During the same decade, the designer collaborated with the famous Italian manufacturer Cassina.
