An extraordinary Madonna stool that will enrich any interior

Always curious about new scientific discoveries, the atom has become one of Salvador Dalí's favorite topics for reflection. Dalí borrows the image of the Madonna from Raphael Sanzio to invent the Maximum Speed of Raphael's Madonna. It disintegrates into spheres, geometrically perfect shapes, and forms resembling rhinoceros horns as Dalí uncovers logarithmic spiral forms based on the Divine Proportion.

Inspired by the so-called “atomic era” of Dalí, Malabar designers conceived the Madonna stool. This art-filled filled stool features four marble spheres and two upholstered layers of jacquard velvet. This art-inspired stool will enrich your interiors by placing it at selected points in your home decor. The Madonna stool was designed by Malabar and is part of the Future Classics collection.

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

Malabar has left its mark at major 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 furniture production comes 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 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 quality, and space-inspired 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 the design is the combination of neutral and black colors. Juicy and vivid hues dominate, diverging significantly from classic and stereotypical 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 bold furniture designs.

The company's name itself derives 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. Even today, Malabar sets very individual boundaries in design and evokes strong emotions with its projects. They are very liberated, seductive, bold, and extremely luxurious.
