Portuguese Cultural Heritage | Tiles For Luxury Furniture

[wp_ad_camp_2]

At Boca do Lobo, more than the creation of the ultimate Luxury Furniture, they take pride in embracing their Portuguese Cultural Heritage – and that means they take the knowledge and craftsmanship of the greatest Portuguese artisans, using ancient techniques to create something spectacular, and yet, timeless. Discover this remarkable element of Portuguese Architecture, as well as the peak contemporary design in these Luxury Furniture Pieces using hand-painted tiles.

LET’S MEET ICONIC TILES PIECES

One of the key aspects of Portuguese Architecture and cultural identity is the “Azulejo“, or hand-painted tiles, which can be easily found across Portugal in different types of buildings, both inside and outside. The Azulejo is a clay or ceramic plate piece, generally with a square shape decorated with colourful designs which consist, in most cases, of Moorish patterns. However, these hand-painted tiles also often portray scenes from Portuguese history, such as episodes from the Discoveries erarecollecting memories of a distant past and immortalizing Portuguese heritage.

The process is very intricate. The drawing is made on parchment paper that is drawn with a graffiti pen and stamped with a coal pencil in the tile. The paintwork is done with water-based paint; a powder that is mixed with water to work the density.

The painting process requires knowledge: not too watery and not too strong. The outline is made from the contour brush, and then the background is painted with a swath brush to highlight the piece. The hand-painted tile goes to the oven and the rest of the coal disappears. The process is complete.
