THE SPIRIT OF THE WOLF IS ALIVE
Speed, agility and strength. Boldness, intelligence and determination.
This is the wolf’s spirit, and these are the words which define Central Lobão.
But it’s just that, words. We must give them strength. Fill them with life. Shape the idea.
That's why we wanted to transform the wolf’s spirit in a play within the reach of the five senses.
And we can, joining tools to brand values.
The result is a sculpture that summarizes the determination, talent and team spirit of the Central Lobão.
Hundreds of tools are no longer just that, transforming itself into a statement of power and beauty, united around what distinguishes them - the wolf’s spirit.
Thus, with the hands of the Ivity and inspiration of Central Lobão, the “Masterwolf” sculpture was built in the headquarters’ lobby in Santa Maria da Feira.
The representation of the strength of Central Lobão’s tools and the "art" that can be created with it.
It has 2,23 meters high, 1,90 in diameter and 357 tools supported by a frame of cast iron and carved on purpose to support them.
The result is a symbolic representation of the Wolf Leader, the head of the pack, which awakens consciousness of each one of us of belonging to this large group.
The wolf had a spirit, now it gained a body.
