Maharam Agenda Flexibound – Organizer, June 1, 2010

This is a beautiful book, not only in its content, but in its production! Designed and written by the owners of the company, a textile/fabric manufacturer, it is a delight to review/revisit, even if you are not interested in fabrics. Information on design consultants/sources makes it a valuable design reference. Highly recommended, if for no other than a visual delight! One of the best "histories" of a company that I have ever seen!

Maharam customer service is just about the worst I've ever encountered. In short, I found them to be rude, dismissive, and as the process of locating my lost items dragged on, they became entirely non-responsive. They accept no responsibility for their products once they've shipped or for the shipping process itself. If you must buy their products, I'd urge you to do it through your designer or another design professional.

Michael and Stephan Maharam are fourth generation owners of a textile design company that stands head and shoulders above the rest. The photography and layout of this book is coffee table-worthy, richly illustrating the unique design instincts that have made Maharam more than just financially successful but admired world-wide by customers, suppliers and even competitors for their strict adherence to quality and creative innovation. The book is a tribute to them and their ancestors who started the company. (and how do they embroider a hardcover book, anyway?) Very cool.
