Bold colours are back in vogue, embracing unconventional design ideas with an emphasis on artsy and extravagant style. The latest furniture installations from Malabar are bolder, more playful and filled with beautiful geometric designs.

The Cortez Family

Dining Table

Elegant and simply described as the bastion of Portuguese luxury, the Cortez Dining Table exhales the splendour of the uniqueness of the kings and queens’ era. It features timeless originality and imperial design. Subsequently, it is inspired by the Palace of Ajuda, a neoclassical monument in the civil parish of Ajuda, in Lisbon.

This dining table top is made of wood finished with high gloss black varnish. This is surrounded by a subtle line of gold leaf coated elements. The structure is supported by two shapely designed geometric feet in lacquered wood gold leaf coated semi-spheres. This makes Cortez Dining Table ideal for spacious contemporary rooms.

Console

After surviving Lisbon’s 1755 earthquake, the royal family decided to live in a much more solid residence than before. It was when the Palace of Ajuda was built. From there on, several families inhabited it. The palace also underwent some changes through the years, having even been partially destroyed by a fire.

Inspired by this exquisite building, with such strong roots, Malabar designers conceived this timeless Cortez Console. Supported by two shapely designed geometric feet, the console’s top is made of lacquered wood finished with high gloss varnish. Furthermore, it is embellished with gold leaf coated details. The Cortez console suits every living room with a royalist flair, remembering the past with an ode to lived kings and queens.

The Sideboard

Malabar’s Cortez Sideboard is a worthy investment and beautifully compliments the other pieces in the range. It too features a solid structure in lacquered wood with high gloss varnish. As with the console and dining table, the console is also embellished with gold leaf coated details. Furthermore, it is a beautiful, elegant piece that will certainly elevate any dining space.
