Boca Do Lobo D. Heritage Cabinet

Description:

• This unique and contemporary cabinet is inspired by the Manueline style, a style of architectural ornamentation of the first decades of the 16th century. A perfect symbiosis of innovative design and techniques with historic heritage. The body is made from wood and coated in copper leaf, finished with a black lacquer gradient that highlights its imposing architectural lines, causing the same impression as the first glimpse at a great cathedral. Two overlay doors give way to an interior lined in copper that boasts a glass shelf and a set of four drawers. In absolute contrast with the modern body of this statement piece, the legs are carved from solid mahogany and it features a turned twist style, making the D. Manuel a versatile cabinet for either classical rooms or modern houses.
• Heavily inspired in Portuguese history and culture, the Dom Heritage is a cross between two of Boca do Lobo’s most iconic design pieces, keeping the form of the Dom Manuel cabinet, with the use of the azulejo finish found on the Heritage pieces. Used to tell tales and stories, azulejo tiles became increasingly popular during King Manuel’s reign, representing a landmark in Portuguese architecture. The Dom Heritage is a tribute to the country’s grand epoch, as well as to it’s traditional artisan crafts which Boca do Lobo seek to keep alive.
