Modern table with varnished wooden structure - Malabar

Frank Lloyd Wright's philosophy, the renowned architect who marked a generation and significantly influenced 20th-century architecture, inspired our contemporary Stratum side table.

The Stratum Table, with its layered wooden structure lacquered in glossy piano black, reminiscent of the New York Guggenheim, perfectly suits luxurious and spacious living rooms seeking elegance and harmony. The Stratum Side Table is part of the World Architects collection.

This collection showcases Malabar's sharp sensitivity to modern design. An affinity for minimalist and geometric lines of modernism, the diversity of rich wood species and materials, results in a refined, elegant, and meticulously crafted contemporary collection.

Malabar was founded in 2012, alongside the launch of a wide range of decorative Fado guitars and the elegant World Architects furniture collection. In total, it has designed and released 5 exceptional furniture and accessory collections.

Malabar has made its mark at the most prestigious 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 exclusive 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-inspired design create an explosive mix of elegant furniture.

The various techniques used in working with natural wood produce incredible effects, as seen in Malabar’s exceptional collections. An important aspect of the design is the combination of neutral and black colors.

Vivid and striking hues dominate, markedly diverging from classic and stereotypical furniture.

Besides wood, the brand 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 comes 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 motivated Portuguese merchants to chart a daring sea route.

Even today, Malabar sets very individual design boundaries and evokes strong emotions with its projects. They are very liberated, seductive, bold, and extremely exclusive.

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