The "Lapiaz" cabinet is one of Boca do Lobo's most recognizable designs and a paradigmatic piece of its language: furniture conceived as a sculptural object, with a strong visual presence and great scenographic capacity. Its exterior, coated in high-gloss black lacquer, is crossed by a large organic fissure in polished hammered and gilded brass, a formal resource that refers to the geological formations generated by erosion and to the idea of fractured matter that reveals a hidden inner richness.
The piece combines a powerful aesthetic charge with a remarkable functionality. Behind its three exterior doors, the interior is organized by six drawers and six glass shelves, integrating storage and display capacity in a structure of great formal sophistication. The contrast between the depth of the black lacquer, the specular shine of the golden brass and the transparency of the glass shelves reinforces its theatrical character, transforming the cabinet into a focal point within the space.

As is customary at Boca do Lobo, the design relies on high-precision artisanal processes - lacquering, brass handwork, hammering, polishing and assembly - that give the piece a singular finish and a strong objectual dimension. "Lapiaz" embodies the Portuguese firm's desire to place contemporary furniture in a territory close to the decorative art of collection, where function, material and sculptural gesture are integrated in a piece intended for high-end interiors.

Founded in Portugal in 2005, Boca do Lobo has established itself as one of the most recognizable European firms in contemporary luxury furniture. Its identity is based on the reinterpretation of traditional craft techniques - cabinetmaking, hammered brass, gilding, lacquering, casting and polishing - applied to designs with a strong sculptural charge. The Salone del Mobile.Milano presents Boca do Lobo as a brand dedicated to reinterpreting ancient techniques of high craftsmanship to create exclusive pieces of contemporary design, a definition that accurately summarizes its international positioning.
The brand has achieved remarkable global visibility in the field of luxury interior design, especially for its pieces of great visual impact, conceived as focal points of residential spaces, hotels and high-end contract projects. Boca do Lobo can be identified with the concept of "furniture that lives like art", with editions and designs aimed at transforming the private space into a sort of domestic gallery.
