Christie\u2019s needs no introduction. The world\u2019s largest Auction House had an \u00a38.4 billion turnover in 2014 and had already sold several Andy Warhol\u2019s and CY Twombly\u2019s works of art. Now, the Portuguese luxury furniture brand Boca do Lobo<\/a> is proud to announce the auctioning of the first edition of Symphony Sideboard<\/a>, through Christie\u2019s, on the 10th of September in South Kensington, London. The Symphony will be auctioned in the <\/a>prestigious auction house\u2019s exclusive \u201cOut of Ordinary\u201d category<\/a> \u2013 the same in which is the front door of Paul McCartney\u2019s childhood home in Liverpool.<\/p>\n

\"BOCA<\/a><\/p>\n

The first Symphony model has been part of an American interior designer collection<\/a>, with a special preference for European art and culture. As an art connoisseur, she found in Boca do Lobo the quality and creativity\u00a0 she pursues in design, falling immediately in love with the Symphony\u2019s distinct design aesthetic at first sight.
\nSymphony turned out to be one of the most emblematic Boca do Lobo pieces. Throughout the design and prototyping process, the designers carried out extensive research, visiting and studying several Portuguese
\nchurches and their pianos. The result is an elegant sideboard made with polished gilt-brass tubes inspired in female body shapes and violins, with three pairs of doors opening to reveal an exotic rosewood interior and
\nthree original glass shelves, on ebonized base.<\/p>\n

This dichotomy art \/ design is noticeable in the brand\u2019s creations. The aim is to arouse emotions, go beyond the functional aspect, so that customers may have authentic works of art in their homes. Because, as Marco Costa, the brand manager, explains, \u201cno one can remain indifferent to Boca do Lobo\u2019s pieces\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In February of 2015, one exemplary of the Symphony sideboard was featured in the Fifty Shades of Grey \u00a0<\/a>Hollywood blockbuster, with a place on set in Christian Grey\u2019s apartment.<\/a> The film included seven other pieces from Boca do Lobo\u2019s collections, embracing the main character\u2019s personality and taste.<\/p>\n

This exclusive furniture piece is the first of eight in the whole world. Handcrafted with the finest materials, this breathtaking limited edition ensures mystery and elegance to the finest home decors.<\/p>\n
