Maharam

I love Maharam - and I found one of the coolest patterns of upholstery that I'm so jazzed about using in my studio project! I have a few areas requiring upholstery (a few stools by a cafe), so for such a vibrant pattern, it will not be overkill.



Above shows an application of the Horto 465958 pattern on a bench. This particular colorway is Acerola 002, the one I want to apply to barstools in the dining area of my convenience store.

Unfortunately, since this is a specially made pattern designed by Beatriz Milhazes, the cost of this is $150/yd list.

This fabric includes 87% Cotton, 13% Polyester at 57" wide. Each bolt is approximately 66 yards. It has 20,000+ double rubs durability with a Reduced Environmental Impact, with no chemicals or metal dyes. This pattern comes in 3 colorways, but they are very vibrant color options. The repeat is measured at 56 1/2" x 29". This pattern meets all appropriate flammability requirements, including California Bulletin #117 and NFPA 260, and is compatible with California Bulletin #133. Its lightfastness is 40+ hours, which means that the fabric can withstand 40+ hours of constant light exposure without the color fading.

The maintenance requires cleaning with a mild, water-free dry cleaning solvent. This fabric also has low VOC emissions, and it is Greenguard and Greenguard for Children & Schools certified for indoor air quality.
