A modern Cortez console for luxurious interiors

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

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

Malabar’s furniture design originates from the Porto region in northern Portugal, an area with a long-standing tradition of handcrafted products.

The identity of this prestigious brand is rooted in the architectural and artistic heritage of the past five centuries. International experience and a pursuit of perfection are the details that guide such original companies. Emotions, handcrafted techniques, and space-inspired design create an explosive mix of luxurious furniture. Various manufacturing techniques using natural wood produce incredible effects, evident in Malabar’s exceptional collections.

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

The company’s name is derived from Malabar black pepper. Along with other spices, it changed the course of trade history after the discovery of the Cape. The value of original spices prompted Portuguese merchants to chart a bold sea route. To this day, Malabar defines very distinctive design boundaries and evokes strong emotions with its projects. They are very liberated, seductive, daring, and extremely luxurious.
