BOKJA DESIGN – NEW COLLECTION AT MILAN DESIGN WEEK 2013
The new collection, The Migration Stories, from Bokja Design will be revealed for the first time during Design Week at Rossana Orlandi in Milan, 9-14 April. There it will be showed a variety of individually crafted pieces of furniture within an immersive environment conjuring the spiritual and practical aspects of human migration.
The Migration Stories references stories of movement and change which come from all over the world. Reflecting the impact of war, taxes, instability, the economy or even love, the Bokja team has created a collection which captures the very fundamental human experience of bundling up belongings, packing away treasure and moving on.
The Migration Stories reflects the hopes and fears of all people, especially the young, who make the brave decision to create a home of their own far from their family or the place where they were born. This intriguing show brings together an emotive assemblage of textural exhibits, memorabilia and objects which conjure a sense of change, loss and resolution.
The Migration sofa has been specially created for the Milan show. It is much more than a piece of furniture. Look closely and you can see that it embodies the concept of migration and travel. The sofa appears to carry a burden of rolled up rugs and bedding on its ‘back’ and the drawer at the base evokes a suitcase full of clothes. The ‘wings’ on each side are flexible and can flap in and out, like a bird on the wing or the rudder of a plane or ship!
The idea of shifting boundaries will be clear to see in the accompanying Migration wallpaper and rugs each bearing the motif of the birds which make an annual migration from one part of the world to another.

Diamond Emerald
Boca Do Lobo is pleased to announce the launch of Diamond Sideboard newest version, a special edition for 2013. This new project conveys Boca do Lobo’s mission to interpret in an exquisite way the modern consumer’s desire for exclusive décor products, all the while maintaining the balance between the timeless values of decoration and utmost quality with an ever-growing modern vision.

With the style of a precious jewel, the new Diamond sideboard, colored in green emerald, will make a splash in interior design since it is one of the hottest color trends for 2013. Like the amethyst Diamond, the new sideboard also features three highly sculptured doors leading to a gold leaf interior with shelving and two drawers.
The exterior of this fanciful piece is now presented in silver leaf finished with a luxurious shade of translucent green emerald with high gloss varnish. And instead of the whimsical lion’s head feet, the new diamond presents a base made from mahogany lined with bronze mirror.

Graceful style and functional choices to meet the real need of the contemporary bourgeoisie, who use the home informally, relaxing or entertaining friends in a space to be lived in freely.
After their recent outstanding moment of inspiration – Newton dining table – was conceived a console inspired by this exclusive piece of furniture. Once again, boca do Lobo defied the laws of physics and redesigned this monumental console made from aluminum and lacquered in black, with a high gloss varnish. The spheres and semi spheres that complete this futuristic console are gold plated.
This intriguing console is ideal for any modern living rooms, bedrooms and hotel lobbies characterized by luxury interior design furnishings.
