" Maharam, the century-old New York fabric firm, is best known for its top-quality textiles, re-editions of classic Eames and Wiener Werkst\u00E4tte designs, and collaborations with Paul Smith and Nike. But like most family businesses, it had humble beginnings: a pushcart stocked with fabric remnants on the Lower East Side. Maharam Agenda, written by Michael Maharam, one of two brothers at the helm, traces the company&amp;#039;s evolution over four generations. There&amp;#039;s charm (doll-like theater costumes), innovation (grille cloth for early hi-fi speakers), and a few recent additions to the MoMA collection. An elaborate stitched cover by Dutch designer Hella Jongerius makes the book a stunning piece on its own but fans of the firm will be happy to find that some of the textiles and pillows inside are also available for purchase at Design Within Reach and Moss.
