Art Expertise
Russian interior designer Maria Katkova was one of the first to open the Boca do Lobo brand for wealthy Muscovites with a refined aesthetic taste. - My work with Boca do Lobo began a few years ago.
The first time I saw the Eden table was in the exhibition prototype and immediately ordered it for an apartment in a modern building in the very center of Moscow. The main idea was to create a secular space in the heart of the capital with windows on the floor and a beautiful view of the Moscow River.
All things of Boca do Lobo are, to some extent, expansive characters in the interior - there shouldn't be a lot of them. They evoke inevitable associations with an eccentricly dressed person in a gray city crowd. Among the numerous furniture brands and works of individual designers, undoubtedly, ideas and forms close to them are found, but I, without any doubt, would give them the title of a unique brand. Their originality lies in the fact that they masterfully maintain a delicate balance between a bold vision of extravagant forms and kitsch, without falling into the sin of the latter - and all this with the exceptional quality of production.
I would advise Boca do Lobo to attract more international designers who share similar aesthetic views. This is always a successful tactic in the global brand development perspective.
