Nowadays the metal work<\/strong> <\/em>can be truly artful to conceive a wide\u00a0range of large-scale structures, assemblies, to the most delicate\u00a0jewelry<\/strong>. It requires discipline, vision, and strength. Since early,\u00a0Boca do Lobo has no restrained to use different processes and tools to shape new designs<\/strong>, by giving to our pieces rough yet powerful\u00a0expression.<\/p>\n

\"metalworking,<\/a><\/p>\n

\"metalworking,<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the processes we appreciated the most is the art of casting metal<\/strong>, where the metal<\/strong> is heated until molten into a chosen shape\u00a0and size. It gave birth to outstanding pieces like Newton series<\/a> or the\u00a0iconic Eden series<\/a>. The process starts by melting metal into a liquid,\u00a0pouring it in a mold with a cavity of the desired shape, and removing the material, or casting<\/strong> after the final work gets cool and then\u00a0solidified. The solidified part can be ejected or even broken out of\u00a0the mold. This technique is one of the most used for making intricate\u00a0forms that would be difficult to have from other methods, including\u00a0the sand casting.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To form, to cut, and to joining processes can be a praiseworthy\u00a0playground. An artful creative assortment of large-scale\u00a0structures, assemblies, to the most delicate jewelry.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The most recent brand new Imperfectio seating collection<\/a> is a\u00a0curated example of cutting and hammered methods. Big size shapes\u00a0and creative forms are innate of this one of kind procedure which\u00a0involves time and careful effort from our blacksmiths. Consequently,\u00a0the fine-looking welding<\/strong> can also be a challenge. Joining each\u00a0component must be at design service and overcome its functionality,\u00a0such as the great golden tubes of Symphony<\/a> masterpiece. The\u00a0reward is to make every single luxury furniture<\/strong> piece as a unique piece of art<\/strong>, being\u00a0impossible to have two equals. A real expression of exclusivity and\u00a0high collectible craftsmanship<\/strong> outcome.<\/p>\n
