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. In the workshops, talented artisans challenge and combine traditional manufacturing techniques with the latest technological methods to shape the finest materials into remarkable furniture, upholstery, and lighting pieces, which gives rise to timeless cosmopolitan environments. The collections are inspired and accurately handcrafted in Portugal with attention to detail, passion for beauty, and the pure dedication of skilled craftsmen and craftswoman.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.Boca do Lobo's emotional pieces are handmade in Portugal by talented artisans who use their wisdom to combine traditional manufacturing techniques with the latest technological methods. Cabinet-makers, jewelers, soldiers, gilding painters, lacquer painters, master artisans, and apprentices, work together in Boca do Lobo workshops to deliver exceptional products where no element or detail is overlooked and the human factor is treasured.A single piece may pass along different skilled hands, and undergo several processes to conceive a unique design expression laying in Portugal's flair in marquetry, azulejaria, joinery, upholstery, filigree, and metalwork, just to name a few.A careful enthusiasm with a new-found confidence that goes alongside a passion for the country's strong craft heritage.
