Marel Design Mobili, a Brazil-based furniture company, recently opened its third U.S. location in Upper Kirby, according to a Feb. 19 news release from company representatives.
About the company
Marel is known for its lacquered finishes and diverse color palette that blend functionality with bold visual appeal since the 1960s.
Featuring the brand’s signature mix of sleek cabinetry and custom furnishings, the showroom was designed to feel more like a residence than a store, the release states.
The Houston space joins Marel’s two other U.S. showrooms in Miami and Orlando, and it serves as a collaborative space where consumers, architects, designers, decorators and builders can discuss projects with the company’s dedicated staff.

Houston was chosen to set the stage for Marel’s Texas expansion because of its emphasis on self-expression, as previously reported by Community Impact. The brand plans to enhance design discourse with its meticulously built products and personalized service, Houston owner Wilson Bortolucci Filho said in a 2025 news release.
“We see Houston as a city where discerning homeowners and businesses appreciate the type of bold design that aligns with Marel’s portfolio,” Filho said in the release. “Houston’s economic clout and its distinction for valuing the best in interior design make it a perfect home for what Marel does best.”
