Portuguese Azulejo V guitar for music lovers

With the aim of enhancing the Tudo Isto É collection, Malabar conceived the Portuguese guitar Azulejo V, which freely showcases the stunning application of traditional Portuguese tiles. They are one of the most important aspects of Portuguese architecture. Azulejo or Portuguese Tiles are used on walls, floors, ceilings, and now in the form of a guitar. This piece celebrates a national icon, something Malabar is proud of, through a bold version of the popular Portuguese guitar. Its various geometric shapes and charming patterns make it a unique element that will surely catch the eye of everyone considering the decor of your home.

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 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 define such original companies. Emotions, handcrafted work, 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 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 visible in the 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 very individual design boundaries and evokes strong emotions with its projects. They are very liberated, seductive, bold, and extremely luxurious.
