Your home should reflect your unique story, but on the Western Costa del Sol, many new builds feel generic and forgettable. The key to a memorable home lies in one or two carefully chosen statement pieces that capture your essence. Yet, finding treasures with soul and history can be hard to find in shops filled with mass-produced furniture or overpriced, characterless “antiques.”
In Manilva’s industrial estate, Furniture Vault stands out as a curated collection of extraordinary European finds. Owners Mark and Sandra, with decades of expertise, have created a treasure trove of pieces that tell stories. During a recent visit, Euro Weekly News was struck by the store’s remarkable selection (900 treasures), each item brimming with potential to transform a space.
Mark, who began in the business at 15 alongside his father, explains, “A single piece can redefine a room.” His passion is evident as he showcases a Georgian mirror or a unique cabinet that becomes a room’s heart. Furniture Vault recently unveiled a stunning selection of vintage lamps, including rare Philipp Plein Paris Croco table lamps—luxurious stainless steel with crocodile leather shades, handmade in Germany with authentic provenance. Also featured are Philippe Barbier brass lamps with iconic 70s lampshades and a tall Maitland Smith black lacquered lamp, offering elegance at an unmatched price. “We have incredible new vintage lamps just arrived… come take a look,” Mark invites.
Sourcing from partners in Belgium, Portugal, and northern Spain, Mark’s long-standing connections bring in furniture and art worthy of galleries but priced for homes. A set of six pristine antique chairs, for example, costs €400—far less than the €600 each typically seen elsewhere. All affordable elegance that ensures your space stands out.
Whether you’re furnishing a home or a professional decorator seeking that perfect piece, Furniture Vault offers the thrill of discovery and Mark’s expert guidance. Known for his warm demeanour, Mark helps you find extremely rare items that make your guests say “wow!” Visit Furniture Vault at Polígono Industrial La Dehesilla, Calle del Constructor, Unit 11a, or call 711 04 03 87. Your extraordinary home is one visit away.
