The Wood Metamorphosis is a collectible artwork that has a naturalistic inspiration, as we can confirm in the natural material used with carving as its only transformation. With wood as base, the pattern of the wood carving gradually starts to appear in the original shape of the Carved stool, from Boca do Lobo collection, thanks to the detailed handmade work of the master artisan who dedicate all his life to this art.
