Maharam Keeps Up in the Digital Age


In today's digital day and age, we're all trying to be as tech-savvy as possible. Maharam is taking it to a whole new level by marrying the worlds of art and design through an assemblage of large-scale, digitally printed wall installations known as Digital Projects.




Created by emerging and established artists, photographers, illustrators, fashion and graphic designers, the installations offer a sophisticated range of content intended for both commercial and residential interiors. The digital installations are an alternative to art and costly wall finishes typically used in high profile and public areas.




An evolution of the company’s longstanding practice of interdisciplinary collaboration, Digital Projects is a carefully curated initiative that will evolve into an expansive portfolio. Early contributors include Dan Graham, Karel Martens, Marilyn Minter, Paul Smith, and Fred Tomaselli, among others.

Livable Art

Transform your drab walls into an artistic masterpiece. "Echo, Wow and Flutter; Sideways, Flopped and Mirrored," a piece by New York-based collagist Fred Tomaselli, is an example from the extremely well-received wallpaper collection from Maharam-- "Maharam Digital Projects," launched last year. Tomaselli, an avid collector, and devoted to scouring interesting newspapers and fashion magazines for snippets of inspiring illustrations, created "Echo, Wow and Flutter..." by encasing dried leaves and flowers, an assortment of pills and clippings of body parts under a layer of transparent resin and atop a background of paint. From a distance, we see splashes of color and spirals enveloping spirals, but like most art, if you take a closer look, you can see what lies beneath. With these progressive mediums and designs, Maharam's digital projects makes it possible for patrons of the design world to actually take the gallery back to their homes.
