Designer bar stool - Malabar

By borrowing floral decorations from beautifully adorned Baroque churches, palaces, manor houses, or historic sites, the eye-catching modern Pilar bar stool brings culture, details, and history into noble interiors.

This impressive bar stool has been crafted to stand the test of time thanks to its black, glossy base and polished brass structure. This modern upholstered bar with luxurious cotton velvet stands out with its opulent interior design.

The Malabar brand was founded in 2012, 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 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 furniture production originates from the Porto area, in northern Portugal, a region with a long and strong tradition of handcrafted products.

The identity of this exceptional brand is rooted in the national 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 craftsmanship, and space-inspired design create an explosive mix of luxurious furniture.

The various techniques used in creating products from 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.

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

In addition to wood, the brand uses brass, gold and silver leafing, 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 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 motivated 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, bold, and extremely exclusive.

And these are exactly the kinds of products we love and introduce to the My Luxury Products platform.
