Pattern, shape and color are a great way to grab some attention or on a day like today, it gets our creative juices flowing. Mix and matching shape and pattern can help you create a beautiful and emotional design. Maharam and Shaw both have dynamic geometric forms within our products that provide an expressive and impactful response to our users and everyone else around us.

Inside Shapes by Shaw has four distinct shapes along with many colors to add dimension to your interior landscape. Shapes and color can be selected from a pre-mixed variation or curated to fit your individual style.

Maharam Etch is a hand drawn line pattern by Hella Jongerius accompanied by high performance wallcovering Bolt composed of organic pattern and sharp angles.

Go mix your products up. See what matches and clashes, and grasp the gorgeous variations you come up with.

Take a recess.

Everything around you right now is telling you to get outside. The sun is shining, birds are chirping, flowers are blooming...spring is finally in the air. We’ve all been cooped up in our homes for what seems like an eternity. Recess ... such a simple idea, but so necessary right now.

Take 20 minutes to simply “do you.”

There’s no better time than right now to get that home garden started. (No, seriously...now is the time!) We all need an escape from everyday stress and there is nothing more gratifying than seeing seeds sprout and picking a freshly ripe tomato from the vine ... and if tomatoes aren’t your thing, grow your own “cocktail” garden with fresh herbs like mint, basil and rosemary. Enjoy fresh cocktails after a long day balancing life and killing it in the (home) office ... you deserve it!

Shower me with color.

This weeks palette is a nod to spring. We’re bringing you lots of color, because color makes us happy.

Shaw Contract Gradation and Maharam Monsoon by Sonnhild Kestler were the jumping off pieces for this palette. We’ve paired them with playful colorways of Shaw Contract Joy Squared, Cast LVT and performance woven LVT, ReThink ... along with Maharam Mela by Sonnhild Kestler and Dots by Paul Smith.

Maharam Digital Projects Screen (Shoreline Debris) by Kevin Appel, brings it all together with bright multi-color dots and playful geometric shapes.

We are here for you, friends ... one day at a time, we will take it in stride, but remember to take time for YOU and get outside too.

Can’t wait to see your #recess selfies!

xoxo

Hi friends <<

We’ve created some (NON Covid-19) content and inspo for your viewing pleasure! We know the last week has been anything but easy. Making adjustments to your home to function and be productive...all while balancing kiddos, pets, family, household needs, meals, routine and managing your own anxiety surrounding the whole experience.

We see you.

This week we’re highlighting comforting, feel good materials, featuring Shaw Contract’s Haven collection, Maharam’s Mela by Sonnhild Kestler and Dots, which is part of Maharam’s ongoing collaboration with Paul Smith.

We have the power to select materials that can truly make a positive impact on our environment and the wellbeing and health of those who occupy the spaces we design. Given the current state of our world, this effort is more important than ever before. We’re committed to showing you transparency, as it relates to material health and human impact, so you can make the best, most responsible choices for your clients...ask us how!

Take good care this week. We are here for you and ready to support.

Aften, Hilary + Amber
