It was also the perfect canvas to experiment new colour techniques. There is an amethyst version, an emerald green and a chocolate version. All extremely rich and savvy colors. Pixel Cabinet (2009) is still seen as the pinnacle of Boca do Lobo’s creativity. The 1088 triangles which complete this luxury cabinet carry the dedication and art of the craftsmen who built it, with a diversity of finishes never before seen. The purpose of the brand unintentionally transformed into creating pieces that actually made users create an emotional bond with them. They were becoming more and more artworks...

The Metamorphosis Sideboard (2016) marked the beginning of a new innovative chapter of the brand, by the “destruction” and reconstruction of the same iconic sideboard, Boca do Lobo sent a strong and loud message to the audience: we will not get comfortable, we are here to shake your emotions and all the classis boundaries of home furniture.

This inherent ability of human nature, when “married” to a so-called creative mind, generates naturally the steps to the creative process. Precisely of the above mentioned sensations, from the conjunction of the conscious and...
