Founded in 1902
|
Founded by Louis Maharam in 1902, Maharam originally set up shop selling commodity textiles on lower Broadway in New York City. When "talkies" replaced silent movies, Maharam?s four sons began supplying flame resistant damasks to improve the acoustics of movie houses. By 1940 Maharam had showrooms in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, and had expanded their line of theatrical fabrics, becoming an internationally renowned resource for set and costume designers.
In the late fifties, Maharam sensed new opportunity and began supplying textiles for commercial interiors, helping pioneer the concept of contract textiles. Over the following three decades, the company flourished through a commitment to performance, value and service. Since 1997, the fourth generation of the Maharam family has brought new definition and direction to the company, focusing on design and technology, and marrying past and present with textiles drawn from the archives of the twentieth century?s greatest creative talents, rich natural fiber textures, and next generation synthetics influenced by the latest runway trends.
