Living room console with marble accents - Malabar

Suppose the interior architecture project of Design Studios in Hiroshima, Japan, brings nature into a boutique environment. Placing an infinite number of cardboard tubes in the shop evokes a walk through a forest or cave, recreating an unlikely organic experience in the heart of the city.

On the modern Wanderlust console, various widths of polished brass pipes convey the same artificial yet natural landscape into contemporary interiors.

The Malabar brand was founded in 2012, alongside 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 collections.

Malabar has left 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.

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

The identity of this unique 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 work, and space-inspired design create an explosive mix of elegant furniture.

Various techniques in producing natural wood products yield 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 colors dominate, significantly diverging 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 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.

This remains true today, as Malabar continues to set highly individual boundaries in design and evokes strong emotions with its projects. They are very liberated, seductive, bold, and extremely exclusive.

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