From dreamy ivory tiles to technical porcelain slabs, Marbella Canada Inc. is on a mission to change the way people think about surfaces. In prioritizing style, performance and sustainability, the brand has become a trusted name in Canada’s design and development community. Situated in Toronto’s design district, the company offers intentional solutions for countertops, flooring and wall features in custom residential, commercial, and hospitality projects. Each product is built to last, with sustainability and environmental responsibility at the forefront.
CEO Ali Abdali plays a key role in keeping the brand at the cutting edge of the luxury engineered surfaces industry by continually challenging his team to rethink the role of surfaces. “Not just in terms of aesthetics,” he explains, “but how they perform and contribute to the spaces they inhabit.”
To sustain its market leadership, Abdali says, Marbella expertly sources “exclusive, high-quality engineered surfaces from Europe, ranging from porcelain slabs and premium tiles to engineered hardwood materials.” By delivering premium products engineered to withstand the rigorous use and creative demands of designers and architects, Marbella empowers professionals to push surfaces beyond expectations. “Whether you’re working on a traditional home renovation or a bold, ultra-modern commercial space, our materials are designed to adapt to any aesthetic and function,” he says.
Every product Marbella provides is exclusively distributed by the brand within Canada, guaranteeing a curated selection of surfaces designed to inspire and impress. Most important, these surfaces leverage modern technology to deliver a significantly enhanced experience compared to traditional options. For instance, Abdali explains, “The porcelain slabs are virtually maintenance-free, durable and chemical-free, built with state-of-the-art European technology.” The brand’s engineered hardwood also combines timeless character with structural resilience, while the tiles are versatile enough to elevate interiors or stand up to high-traffic commercial use. “We are constantly exploring new technologies in design that align with and support the evolving needs of architects, designers and homebuilders across the country,” he says.
As the industry continues to evolve, Marbella remains committed to not only meeting emerging environmental standards and aesthetic trends but actively shaping them. “For us, sustainability isn’t just a selling point, it’s a responsibility,” he says.
“Whether you’re working on a traditional home renovation or a bold, ultra-modern commercial space, our materials are designed to adapt to any aesthetic and function.”
Olivia Dobrovich, sales manager, shines a light on the growing passion for natural textures, earthy tones, and tactile finishes—trends that come alive in Marbella’s stunning new ARKÈON porcelain slab collection by Infinity Surfaces. Unveiled in Italy at Salone del Mobile 2025, this collection, crafted by visionary architect Giuseppe Bavuso, masterfully blends elegant design with cutting-edge technical precision. Exciting synergies between Marbella and leading Canadian architecture and design studios are currently shaping bold residential and hospitality projects across North America, with more inspiring details to be revealed soon.
Today, Marbella stands as more than a supplier; it’s a brand rooted in craftsmanship, creativity and care. And with intention, innovation and soul at the core of its practices, Marbella is redefining what it means to design for the future.
