A royal mirror for exclusive living rooms - Malabar

Maria Mirror is a tribute to one of the most beautiful and flamboyant Portuguese princesses, Maria Pia of Savoy, inspired by Maria's favorite tiara, reflecting the refinement inherited from the Portuguese royal family.

Malabar Factory was established in 2012, alongside the launch of a wide range of decorative Fado guitars and a collection of stylish furniture by World Architects. It has designed and released a total of 5 exceptional furniture and accessory collections.

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

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

The identity of this exclusive brand is based on the 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 execution, and space-inspired design create an explosive mix of luxurious furniture.

The various techniques used to produce goods from natural wood yield incredible effects, as seen in Malabar’s exceptional collections. An important aspect of the design is the combination of neutral and black colors. 

Vivid and bold hues dominate, significantly deviating from classic and stereotypical furniture.

In addition to wood, the manufactory 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 the daring 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 bold sea route.

This remains true today, as Malabar continues to define highly individual design boundaries and evokes strong emotions with its projects. They are very liberated, seductive, daring, and extremely luxurious.

And these are the products we love and introduce on the My Luxury Products platform.
