Maya’s long standing commitment to Eastern philosophy has greatly influenced our company’s respect for materials. We produce many of our wallcoverings by hand in our Chicago Studio and consequently have great control over what goes into the products we sell, and how our employees are treated.
At Maya Romanoff, the thoughtful design of our studio and the wallcoverings we create reflects our dedication to providing a safe, clean, and inspiring workspace—one where the artistry of our employees can truly flourish.
We are equally committed to working with factories that uphold fair labor practices and offer safe, supportive environments for their employees. Many of our partner mills are located in economically challenged regions, and we take seriously our responsibility to support the artisans, their families, and their communities. Through our Specifying with Care program, a portion of sales from select collections is donated to organizations such as DIFFA (Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS), helping extend our impact beyond the studio.
Wherever possible we source goods and services indigenous to the relevant manufacturing locale. Over 50% of our products are manufactured or finished in the USA, including top-selling collections Beadazzled Flexible Glass Bead wallcovering, Mother of Pearl ™ wall tiles, Weathered Walls™ and Maya Romanoff 54™ Type II Vinyl.
We have reduced, and continue to seek ways to minimize, the excessive use of packing materials.
Sustainability is integral to our manufacturing processes. We generate minimal effluent, thanks to our use of water-based colorants, adhesives, and finishes. At our Chicago Studio, all water-based effluents are treated through a proprietary three-step filtration system, producing clean, non-hazardous wastewater. Any solids are safely dried and responsibly disposed of—keeping our environmental footprint as light as possible.
We’re committed to smarter, greener design. That means using recycled content, rapidly renewable resources, and low-VOC adhesives and coatings in our products. Every detail is thoughtfully considered to reduce waste and maximize impact.
Our signature Mother of Pearl™, genuine metals, wood veneers, and mica wallcoverings are crafted using ultra-thin layers of material—delivering the luxurious look and feel of traditional materials, with a fraction of the environmental cost.
