Portugal
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.
The majestic Lazuli modern side table features floral motifs all over its surfaces. On the modern table top, a floral marquetry effect was created with caviuna veneers, and on the base, each of the pentagonal surfaces is a modern take of the Portuguese tile. Much like the famed tile, the ornaments on the geometric facets not only resemble ajoure jewelry but are in fact created the same way floral motifs are cut from brass. The black glass in the background of these metallic tiles awards a trendy contrasting effect to this surprising furniture piece.
