This astonishing five-bedroom residence was renovated to evoke timeless luxury, balancing
contemporary classics with the home’s historical character. Throughout the home, a restrained
palette of Portland Limestone, hardwood and other natural materials is punctuated by vibrant
colors such as turquoise, fuchsia and green.
By mixing novel styles, Rafael de Cárdenas gathers traditional Portuguese pieces and modern
design furniture creating an elegant and outstanding home. Known for many projects around
the world, Cárdenas usually combines different styles in order to create unique designs for his
clients.
Here is showcased one of the most well-known pieces of Boca do Lobo, the D.Manuel Cabinet,
a piece that owes its name to the Portuguese King who reigned during Discoveries Era.
D.Manuel Cabinet is a bridge between old and new, the past and the future and sets the pace
for elegance in this residence’s dining room.
