Duquesa & Malvada: Artisanal Portuguese Luxury

The Portuguese heritage shines through every creation from this distinguished atelier. Each design begins as a hand-painted artwork, created by master illustrators who understand that luxury isn't merely visual—it's emotional. These artists spend countless hours perfecting every brushstroke, ensuring that when translated to wallpapers and fabrics, the essence of their vision remains intact.

What distinguishes these creations from ordinary decorative elements is the meticulous attention to material quality. The fabrics feature exceptionally high thread counts, resulting in sumptuous textures that beg to be touched. The wallpapers employ specialised printing techniques that capture the subtlest gradations of colour, creating depth that conventional manufacturing simply cannot achieve.

The design team embraces both traditional motifs and avant-garde concepts, producing collections that range from delicately understated to boldly expressive. Their seasonal releases consistently anticipate—rather than follow—interior design trends, making them a favourite resource for designers seeking to create truly distinctive spaces.

Installation requires expertise, which is why we recommend our vetted professionals who understand the handling requirements of premium materials. The investment in proper installation ensures these exquisite products perform beautifully for years to come.

For clients embarking on comprehensive interior transformations, the design team offers bespoke services, adapting existing patterns to specific colour requirements or creating entirely new designs that perfectly complement architectural features and furnishings.

Our London showroom displays a curated selection of their current collections, allowing clients to experience the true dimensionality of these extraordinary textiles. Running one's fingers across the various textures while observing how light plays upon the surfaces provides insight no digital representation could convey.

The sustainability practices of the atelier deserve special mention. Their commitment to environmentally responsible production methods includes water-based inks, sustainably sourced base materials, and packaging that minimises environmental impact—all without compromising the luxurious quality that defines their brand.

For those intrigued by the possibilities these exceptional decorative elements offer, I invite you to schedule a consultation at our studio. Together, we can explore how these remarkable textiles might elevate your interiors from the merely beautiful to the truly extraordinary. Each project benefits from our decades of experience integrating fine decorative elements into cohesive design narratives that reflect the personality and aspirations of our discerning clientele.
