A store founded on respect for noble materials and energy economics.
Built the same way we build our collections: with passion, creativity, consistency and in a sustainable way. Serrano 8 Malababa rises as a space full of soul, shaping natural resources in the search of authentic, imperfect beauty, which becomes more and more beautiful as time goes by.
Natural walls
All walls are rendered with a mixture of Galician clay, white marble powder from Almería and binding agents from the food industry. All of them being totally natural, ecological and non-toxic. This kind of render regulates humidity and temperature, entailing a noticeable energy saving year-round.
Re-useable furniture
Mobile modular furniture can combine and change layouts as needed. They have been manufactured with limestone from Seville, aged brass and beautiful blocks of moss agate gemstone. Some are upholstered with the same leather we use for our collections.
Artisan lattice screens
Behind the lattice structure, there is a great team work. Each piece has been placed by hand, emitting a cosy warm feeling. Bricks have been artisanally manufactured in Toledo using mud sourced in quarries from Extremadura, baked in an H2G oven, 100% ecological, using biomass as fuel. The floor covering terracotta comes from Valencia and it has been baked in a wood oven, using artisanal processes, having not involved any non-natural products.
Sustainable ecocement
Ecocement, the render that covers some of the store interiors, is sustainable. It is guaranteed by international certifications such as German Emicode, which certifies low emision of volatile compounds -VOC- in building materials.
Vegetable-tanned leather curtain
This decorative element has been manufactured by Malababa's very own artisan Osvaldo, from whole pieces of vegetable-tanned cowhide leather, the same kind that is used for crafting our collections.
Natural agate gemstones
These minerals either take a modular shape, or alternatively they get embedded into our furniture pieces, creating an irregular, unique and beautiful pattern.
