Maharam Wallpaper

Maharam wallpaper represents a refined approach to wallcovering design, combining innovation, material research and modern aesthetics. Known for collaborations with some of the world’s most influential designers and artists, Maharam creates wallcoverings that balance visual impact with functional performance for both residential and commercial interiors.

Maharam Wallpaper

Maharam does for the wall what it does for the their textile: performance you can specify with confidence, wrapped in design you would want anyway. Its wallcoverings run from reissued modernist patterns to fine art printed at room scale, all built to survive a commercial interior. Studio 198 supplies Maharam wallpaper in the UK and worldwide, the contract-grade wallcoverings and the remarkable Maharam Digital Projects alike.

Design-Led Wallcovering, Built to Perform

Maharam has been an American design house since 1902, part of the MillerKnoll collective, with textiles in the permanent collections of MoMA and the Art Institute of Chicago. Its wallcoverings carry the same instincts. You will find reissued modern classics, like Alexander Girard's Alphabet and Broken Stripe from 1952, contemporary designs from the likes of Paul Smith, and wallcoverings by fine artists such as John Baldessari and Rosemarie Trockel. Underneath the design, these are performance wallcoverings, rated for traffic, tested for flammability, and made to be cleaned, which is why they hold up in offices, hotels and other public spaces as well as they look.

Maharam Digital Projects: Art at the Scale of a Wall

This is the one that stops people. Maharam Digital Projects is a collection of large-scale wall installations designed by contemporary artists, digitally printed and made to cover a whole wall or room. The roster reads like a gallery: Vik Muniz, Sarah Sze, Marcel Dzama, Fred Tomaselli, Katherine Bernhardt, Rob Pruitt and many more. It lets you put a genuine piece of contemporary art on the wall at architectural scale, and because it is produced as a proper wallcovering, it is specified and rated like one rather than treated as a mural gimmick. For a reception, a stairwell or a statement room, there is nothing quite like it.

Specifying Maharam Wallcovering

Maharam wallcoverings are designed for both commercial and residential spaces, so they carry traffic ratings and are washable or scrubbable for high traffic areas. Check the flammability classification the project needs: in the US that usually means Class A to ASTM E84, and for a UK job the equivalent is Euroclass B-s1,d0 to BS EN 13501-1. As with any wallcovering, order from a single batch and allow extra, and confirm the roll size before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Maharam wallpaper known for?

Design-led, high-performance wallcovering from Maharam, the American house founded in 1902 and now part of MillerKnoll. It is known for reissued modern classics, designer and fine-artist wallcoverings, and its Maharam Digital Projects, large-scale wall installations by contemporary artists. Serious design credibility, on a wallcovering built for real use.

What are Maharam Digital Projects?

A collection of large-scale wall installations designed by leading contemporary artists, including Vik Muniz, Sarah Sze and Marcel Dzama, digitally printed and produced as a proper wallcovering. They let you cover a wall with genuine contemporary art, specified and rated like any other Maharam wallcovering.

Is Maharam wallpaper suitable for commercial and hospitality projects?

Yes, that is its home ground. Maharam wallcoverings are performance products, rated for traffic and flammability and made to be cleaned. Confirm the fire classification the building needs, Class A (ASTM E84) in the US or Euroclass B-s1,d0 (BS EN 13501-1) in the UK, and we will supply the documentation for sign-off.

Can Maharam wallpaper be used on a single feature wall?

Absolutely, and it is often the best use. A bold Maharam pattern or a Digital Projects artwork makes its full statement on one wall while keeping the cost and effort contained. The Digital Projects in particular are made to the dimensions of the wall they will cover.
