Brazil-based Marel Design Mobili is coming to Houston. The purveyor of custom furnishings will open its first Texas showroom in April at 3600 Kirby Drive.

Known for designs that are stylish, sleek, sexy, and exquisitely made, Marel Design Mobili has been creating custom furnishings and spaces since the 1960s. The outfit specializes in a variety of living solutions, including kitchen cabinets, drawers and appliance housings, bedroom and living room wall mounts and cabinetry, bathroom storage units and closets, and office design components. Its clientele include home and office customers, architects, decorators, designers, and builders.

Marel is known for its exacting attention to detail working with countless customization possibilities.

The brand specializes in laccato, or lacquered surfaces, and offers a range of functional cabinetry and custom furnishings in a variety of painted finishes for natural wood veneers, metals, and glass available in more than 2,000 color options.

Given Houston’s reputation as a city that embraces stunning interior design blended with sleek functionality, Marel Design Mobili believes the Bayou City is a natural home for the brand.

“We see Houston as a city where discerning homeowners and businesses appreciate the type of bold design that aligns with Marel’s portfolio,” Marel Houston owner Wilson Bortolucci Filho said in a statement. “Houston’s economic clout and its distinction for valuing the best in interior design make it a perfect home for what Marel does best.”

The new, 2,200-square-foot showroom is a one-stop shop for those seeking luxury designs, whether they are renovating their homes, redesigning a room, or creating something entirely new. Designed to be a collaborative space where clients can discuss projects with a dedicated staff, Marel offers a high-touch experience that takes every detail of custom design into consideration. Following precise measurements, a 3D design is created for each project. The pieces are fabricated in Marel’s Brazil manufacturing center. They are shipped to Houston within a two-month window on average, then installed by a specialized team offering after-sale support.

The Upper Kirby location joins Marel Design Mobili locations in Miami and Orlando, Florida. The brand expects Houston to be a launch point for future Texas expansion.
