Boca do Lobo:The Art of designing and crafting exclusive pieces

Boca do Lobo was founded in 2005 and, early on, it committed to reinterpreting ancient techniques of fine craftsmanship to create unexpected pieces of contemporary design.

Each creation carries the legacy of centuries of craftsmanship.

The collections are inspired and accurately handcrafted in Portugal with attention to detail, passion for beauty and the pure dedication of skilled craftsmen and craftswomen.

Since the pioneering SOHO collection, presented in London, one of the world's leading design capitals, Boca do Lobo has flourished, unveiling ground-breaking furniture pieces, highlighted for their irreverent design, clash of materials and technique, which has been at the core of the brand's design mission. With more than 200 international exhibitions, its masterpieces can be seen across the globe in exquisite residential projects to leading hotels and contract projects. Renowned luxury department stores such as Printemps in Paris and Harrods in London have already selected Boca do Lobo to decorate luxury corners for brands such as Fendi and Prada.

New: Burned Wood - Japanese-style flamed decorative wood lamp

New: Burned Wood - Japanese-style flamed decorative wood lamp

Fire generally has the property of destroying wood. But the exact opposite is the case if you deliberately combine wood with fire. Like the Yakisugi method, the traditional Japanese art of wood finishing, in which the wood is carbonized and thus preserved for many decades. Flamed wood is also a real eye-catcher, with which the Berlin lighting manufacturer Gantlights is now refining its C series.

There are various methods of preserving wood. Most woods are varnished, varnished, or oiled. The thermal type of preservation, in which the wood is carbonized, is an exceptional variant: the temperature-intensive treatment of the wood surface caramelizes and chars the cellulose, wood cells are closed, and the underlying layers are protected from damaging influences in a natural way.

The Yakisugi method is, therefore, an extraordinarily ecological and economical technique that also develops outstanding aesthetics: carbonized wood impresses with its deep black color and thus offers an exciting contrast to light, minimalist furnishing concepts. Flamed wood is now widely used in architecture but is still relatively new in the product area. The Berlin lighting manufacturer Gantlights has included "Burned Wood" as a new variant in the C series - a lighting series with a filigree design and exciting material contrasts with a unique presence. Flamed wood is one of eight material variants for the lampshade, which can be individually combined with light and dark concrete or oak and walnut as the lamp body. "My designs work a lot with materials that are more familiar from architecture. But a burnt wood surface has so much structure and delicacy that it comes out much better in the product design. More details are recognizable than on a large facade," explains the architect and product designer Stefan Gant. "I find it particularly exciting that the surface appears extremely fragile, but the opposite is the case: the fire treatment makes the wood more resistant to moisture, fungi and UV radiation, for example." The C series can be optically configured extensively: available in lengths of 92, 122 and 186 centimeters, the materials - for example, concrete, oxidized copper, oak or walnut and now newly flamed wood - can be freely combined for the lamp body and lampshade. Cable color and length can also be customized. The pendant lamp also conveniently regulates the light using Touch-Dim: gently touching the steel cables, the light is dimmed or brightened.

The challenge was to light, changing the inside atmosphere’s mood in line with the external environment. The challenge was making this penthouse feel more intimate and near nature. The high ceiling and structural beams were filled to make this penthouse feel more intimate and next to nature. The high ceiling and structural beams were filled with glorious chandeliers, so empty space was not noticed. THE LIVING AREA Inspired by the urban lifestyle, the living room’s voluptuous shapes and sober colors invite moments of dolce far niente. This space results from a mixture of textures, colors, fabrics, and even styles. The geometric and organic shapes present in the furnishings, the harsh lines of the sofa’s outline and the combination between the rug and pouf’s patterns create an almost ethereal aesthetic. The Da Vinci sofa arrangement ensures the division between the dining and living areas. Iconic furniture designs provide a special living character. The Aspen armchair is a statement piece for the most curated interiors. THE DINING AREA In the dining area, the large windows were crucial when defining the environment. Natural light and the possibility of enjoying the glazing view are key factors when spending convivial moments around the new Oslo dining table. Reflective surfaces such as Carrara marble, stainless steel and the back as Carrara marble, stainless steel and the back display serve as an interesting backdrop for the Christie chandelier which orients the eyes toward the main point of the space – the
