Luxurious Flahy bar chair

Through this provocative bar stool project, Malabar conveys a message about itself: inspired by the past, yet with a touch of possibility and future. Malabar's designers were bold enough to create an artistic bar stool in the style of Roman architecture with golden wings. The wings symbolized freedom, liberation from rules—Malabar designs artistic masterpieces.

Letting imagination run wild, Malabar conceived the Flahy bar stool. Handmade by Portuguese artisans, this artistic bar stool features two offset cylindrical bases and a plush upholstered seat adorned with a polished brass footrest.

Malabar's manufactory was established in 2012, alongside the launch of a wide range of decorative Fado guitars and an elegant furniture collection called World Architects. In total, it has designed and released 5 exceptional furniture and accessory series.

Malabar has made 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 innovative design.

Malabar's furniture design originates from Porto, in northern Portugal, a region 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 define such original companies. Emotions, handcrafted craftsmanship, 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 their design is the combination of neutral and black colors. Vivid and bold hues dominate, significantly diverging from traditional 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 their daring furniture designs.

The company's name derives from Malabar black pepper. Along with other spices, it changed the course of trade history after the discovery of the Cape. The value of authentic spices prompted Portuguese merchants to chart a daring sea route. This remains true today, as Malabar continues to set very distinctive boundaries in design and evokes strong emotions with its projects. They are very liberated, seductive, bold, and extremely luxurious.
