"To make a beautiful thing once is easy - to do it over and over again, that is the true art." -Maya Romanoff

WHO

Maya Romanoff celebrates 40 years of design innovation with studio demonstrations at the Museum of Arts and Design.

WHAT

Maya Romanoff celebrates 40 years of design innovation with three tie-dyed wallcoverings to be unveiled in Spring 2010: Half Plaid, Snowflake, and Crystal. This anniversary folio was inspired by the artist's early work, created in collaboration with New York designer and co-founder of Design Miami, Amy Lau.

As part of the 40th anniversary celebration, Maya Romanoff artisans will be conducting special studio demonstrations showcasing the company's unique techniques. Watch as Maya Romanoff artisans demonstrate techniques such as metal leafing, handpainting, tie-dye and inlay as well as experimentation with raw materials.

Additionally, upon visiting the Museum of Arts and Design, take notice of Romanoff's subtle beaded wall covering, Beadazzled, adorning a wall in the museum's Tiffany & Co. Jewelry Gallery. In conjunction with the Museum's exhibition Slash: Paper Under the Knife, Maya Romanoff has provided panels of a new wallcovering, Ohm, for the Museum's elevators. Ohm is made of two layers of Lokta paper. Chopsticks are used to shape the honeycomb pattern.
