A comfortable armchair from the La Voix series for the living room

Under the influence of Giorgio de Chirico, René Magritte attempted to strip objects of their usual functions and meanings to convey an irrationally attractive image. By distorting scale, weight, and the use of ordinary objects and placing them in various contexts, Malabar designers were inspired to create the La Voix armchair. Upholstered with high-quality cotton velvet and patterned fabric on curved armrests, supported by a walnut wood leg, Malabar’s artistic heritage lives on in this artistic chair design.

Idealized to be placed at the center of the living room, the La Voix armchair turns fantasies into furniture reality. This classic chair of the future will allow you to arrange an art-inspired living space that only needs white walls.

Malabar Manufactory was established in 2012, along with the launch of a wide range of decorative Fado guitars and the elegant World Architects furniture collection. It has designed and released a total of 5 exceptional furniture and accessory series.

Malabar has left its mark at major international trade fairs such as 100% Design London, Maison & Objet, Decorex, Stockholm Furniture Fair, and Seoul International. These are among the top venues for showcasing.

Malabar furniture design originates from the Porto area, in northern Portugal, a region with a long and strong tradition of handcrafted products.

The identity of this prestigious brand is based on the national architectural and artistic heritage of the past five centuries. International experience and a pursuit of perfection are the details that define such original companies. Emotions, handcrafted work, and space-age design create an explosive mix of luxurious furniture. Various techniques of working with natural wood produce incredible effects, as seen in Malabar’s exceptional collections.

An important aspect of their design is the combination of neutral and black colors. Juicy and vivid hues dominate, significantly deviating from classic and stereotypical furniture. Besides wood, the manufacturer uses brass, gold and silver leaf, as well as other high-quality raw materials. The Portuguese soul is very colorful and fascinating, clearly reflected in their bold furniture designs.

The company’s name comes from Malabar black pepper. Along with other spices, it changed the course of trade history with the discovery of the Cape. The value of original spices prompted Portuguese merchants to chart a daring sea route. This remains true today, as Malabar continues to set very individual boundaries in design and evokes strong emotions with its projects. Their designs are very liberated, seductive, bold, and extremely luxurious.
