Inside Maharam’s First Global Showroom At The Mart

Textile manufacturer Maharam launches the first of four new global showrooms, a 1,500-square-foot space at The Mart in Chicago spotlighting residential offerings from the Edelman, Knoll Textiles, and Maharam brands. Designed by Neil Logan, Architect, it’s gallerylike, with gridded wooden cubbies along a sidewall and a 25-foot-long central table with a Piet Mondrianlike display of colorful, textural samples. Other highlights include a custom credenza with slide-out drawers for displaying leathers and a sunlit confab table—the ideal spot from which to peruse new fabrics, like Sir Paul Smith’s indoor-outdoor slubbed-yarn polyesters, Ladder Stripe and Stepped Plaid.
