Our Story

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

Since the pioneering SOHO Collection, presented in London—one of the world’s leading design and craftsmanship capitals—Boca do Lobo has flourished, unveiling groundbreaking furniture pieces celebrated for irreverent design and a clash of noble materials and techniques. The collections are inspired and meticulously handcrafted in Portugal with attention to detail, passion for beauty, and the pure dedication of skilled artisans.

With more than 200 international exhibitions, its masterpieces can be seen across the globe in exquisite residential projects as well as 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 curate exclusive luxury corners for fashion houses such as Fendi and Prada. Giants of hospitality like the Fairmont Hotel chain in the US, The New York Palace Hotel, the Asturias Hotel in Madrid, or the opulent Al Jasra Boutique Hotel in Qatar have all brought five-star interiors to life through the brand’s collections. Opulent casinos in Europe and luxury villas in Oporto are also home to the distinctive aesthetic that marries traditional craft with a new, playful sophistication.

Boca do Lobo has always been fascinated by the unexpected. Deeply connected with Portuguese legacy, the brand seeks innovation, delivering an unparalleled experience and fulfilling the most discerning art and design collectors’ desires and needs.

Finest Craftsmanship

The first piece by Boca do Lobo was drawn 20 years ago, yet its story started being shaped centuries ago. Around the world, the beauty and wisdom of craftsmanship have survived through time and generations, allowing for the creation of soulful design pieces today.

A single piece may pass through many skilled hands and undergo several processes to achieve a unique design expression rooted in Portugal’s flair for marquetry, azulejaria, joinery, upholstery, filigree, and metalwork, to name just a few. Every piece carries a legacy—years of growing experience and pure dedication.

Alongside this, the Boca do Lobo team manages a premier global supply chain and furniture and lighting workshops run by artisans and specialists. From upholstery and furniture to lighting, as well as dedicated facilities for metal, wood, and finishings, this is where more than 200 exclusive pieces are handmade.
