Timeless dining table - high gloss finish - Malabar

Architecture inspired by trees has emerged in several cities across Southeast Asia, which inspired Malabar to incorporate it into contemporary interior design. German architects Ingenhoven developed plans for Marina One, a new skyscraper in Singapore characterized by tree-inspired architecture.

The modern Marina dining table is a recreation of a tree trunk as an artistic furniture element, perfect for creating a nature-inspired environment within a contemporary living space. The modern Marina table features a tabletop with radial veneer of deciduous wood finished with high-gloss lacquer, combined with smoked glass in the center, supported by a polished brass structure, giving this artistic piece a luxurious style, ideal for any modern living space.

Malabar was founded in 2012, launching a wide range of decorative Fado guitars and the stylish 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 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 luxury 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 execution, and space-age design create an explosive mix of exclusive furniture.

The use of various techniques in working with natural wood results in 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 colors dominate, significantly deviating from classic and stereotypical furniture.

Besides 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 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 with the discovery of the Cape. The value of original spices prompted Portuguese merchants to chart a bold sea route.

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

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