Boca do Lobo Metamorphosis Dining Table

Having first made its debut at the Salone del Mobile in Milan, the Metamorphosis series by Boca do Lobo has gone through just that: a metamorphosis. While the Portuguese brand has not reinvented the series, it has made a few new additions to it. With its Metamorphosis Dining Table joining the collection, the brand sets the standard for unique furnishings.

Forget the usual dining tables that simply serve as a surface where one can place food. With the Metamorphosis Dining Table, nature is combined with creativity for a truly captivating creation. The table doesn’t just allow you to entertain guests as they feast, but also stands as a symbol of ‘the evolutionary history of life’. On the top of the table are sculpted fossils that help to highlight this circle of life — while also serving as a unique conversation starter.

To craft this limited edition dining table, Boca do Lobo has entrusted only the finest craftsmen in Portugal to use their skills and expertise. Methods employed to craft the table include woodcarving, metal cutting, hammering and polishing that are all done by hand. While wood is clearly the main material used, there are accents of gold featured on the table. The base of the table glitters with the gold that helps to hold up the tabletop, while the fossils are decked out in gold that will not fail to catch your attention.

According to the brand, the Dining Table may be the latest in the series but is certainly not going to be the last. Good news for fans of the brand’s unique series, Boca do Lobo lives up to its philosophy where ‘nothing is created, nothing is lost, everything changes’.
