About Mal Corboy

Mal Corboy has been designing for over 18 years and holds the qualification of certified Kitchen Designer (AU). Mal not only Designs award winning Kitchens, but also Bathrooms, laundries and furniture through-out the world.

Mal regularly Designs in the American market – these designs are manufactured in Australasia and shipped to the States, which makes him one of the few Designers in Australasia that have achieved this.

When you look at the international and national accolades, it is astonishing to find that since Mal entered his first competition in 2002 he has accumulated 26 awards in total, the most recent being Australian Certified Designer of the year (2011), which is the highest accolade possible. He also holds the honour of being the first and only New Zealand based Designer to win Australian Kitchen Designer of the year.

Mal was also honoured to be picked to complete the five International Panel Members (Judges) for the 2011 International Student Design Awards; these were held in Germany in March of 2011. This is quite a prestigious honour as not only is this the largest Student Design awards in the world – but also Mal was the first Australasian Designer to be invited to the panel since its inception 16 years ago.

Mal is one of the most published Designers and also the first to achieve two front covers with Trends magazine. He regularly writes for magazines and often features in both Radio and Television, including My House My Castle and more recently appearing in a remodelling show of the Living Channel Kitchen.

It has been a great pleasure for Mal to be the guest Key Note Speaker at a number of events. He is passionate about Design and prides himself on producing innovated, stunning, yet functional Designs that not only meets, but exceeds his clients’ expectations. Numerous clients of Mal’s engage him as they want a one off design, and as they say “the Mal Corboy factor” many refer to their Kitchen’s as a “Mal Corboy” which is one of the goals he wanted to achieve, to become not only a Designer on everyone’s lips, but a Brand within its own right.

The future holds exciting times for Mal with more commissions around the world and a number of projects and engagements in the pipeline. In 2010 Mal was asked to become the Brand Ambassador for Hettich Australia/New Zealand; this has seen him talking in front of 100’s of industry people though-out both countries; due to its success Hettich has asked Mal to continue on as Brand Ambassador for 2011 and 2012.
