Luxurious table - polished marble top - Malabar

Santiago Calatrava has been described as "an expert in choreographing the masses of moving bodies." The contemporary Canopy coffee table reflects the Spanish architect's passion for combining geometric shapes with rational lines in structures, such as those observed in the Valencia Planetarium building. The harmonious structure of the modern Canopy table consists of clean arches meeting at the top. The exceptional green marble top creates an elegant and lush setting.

Malabar Factory was established 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 unique 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’s design originates from Porto, 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 define such original companies. Emotions, handcrafted execution, 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. 

Juicy and vivid colors dominate, significantly diverging 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 visible in the bold furniture designs. 

The company's name derives from the black pepper Malabar. 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 very 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 on the My Luxury Products platform.
