Heritage Collection is the essence of a country, a portrait of a world of cultural elements uniquely confined to the root of a person. It is that legacy that gives us, today, symbols that we’re proud to claim as fruits of our ingenuity, as well as symbols which were adopted and taken as our own, from paths crossed momentarily in the past. Heritage, a collection that catalogues what is essentially the birth of a nation, is completed with pieces that reflect important landmarks, in days of yore.
With Heritage, Malabar moves into a classic, more ornate design philosophy in order to stay true to the inspirations, setting itself worlds apart from the first collection, World Architects.
Cornices, friezes, carving, tiles, gold and silver leaf, wrought iron, ceramics and other time-honored elements and styles will be some of its characteristic components. To create these pieces, we need more than skill from our artisans and designers: a monumental amount of passion for art and attention to detail are necessary to complete a worthy tribute piece.
During the 15th and 16th centuries, Portugal discovered numerous territories and maritime routes. The Portuguese sailors navigated across the world exploring, discovering and mapping the coasts of Africa, India, Canada and Brazil. Malabar was inspired by the Maritime discoveries to design this contemporary center table, which honor the Glory times of Portugal. Because it is the most important part of Portuguese History. Inspired by the divine vision of a new land sighted from distant waters, this contemporary center table was designed with the organic contours of a coastline in mind. The horizon side Table top is finished in walnut wood with immense gloss, to give the idea of the Portugal triumph.
