Our recent Las Vegas estate sale included furnishings from Boca Do Lobo and Essentials Home. After 25 years of loving modern Italian furnishings I have a whole new appreciation for this new found style. As Boca Do Lobo is only 14 years old and Essentials Home is only 5 years old, if you are not familiar with the brands, you haven’t missed out on too much. Naturally I already have a wish list started, it includes the “Marie” chair, the “Robin” mirror, and “Lapiaz” and “Monocles” sidebars for starters (all show below).
BOCA DO LOBO is a Portugal designer furniture firm that holds the title of ‘most expensive furniture’ company in the world. Their furnishings are exquisite. The firm describes their products as ’emotional’ but I describe them as ‘rich, luxurious, and breathtaking’. They utilize a lot of gold in their finishes but in the most tasteful way. If you like exotic wood, organic shapes and opulence you will likely be impressed too. Sadly their closest dealer is in New York and after multiple searches on line, I cannot find any other methods of buying so all we can do is hope to find more pieces for sale at the resale level.
