MAHARAM SAYS

Oxbow continues the Maharam Design Studio’s recent exploration of wool's aesthetic and practical potential as a versatile, rapidly renewable fiber.

Oxbow brings pronounced texture and dimensionality to the Maharam Design Studio’s wool initiative, a series that highlights the environmental, aesthetic, and performance benefits of wool. 

Woven domestically using fibres sourced from sheep raised in the United States, Oxbow’s wool yarn is dyed, spun, and woven in Pennsylvania—thereby minimising the environmental impact of standard textile transportation. Oxbow’s composition explores tactility and organic irregularity within a precise grid. The Maharam Design Studio worked with a specialised resource on a construction that combines wool yarns with a taut nylon warp to create a sturdy, undulating surface that evokes architectural dimensionality.

To emphasize wool’s deep and varied chromatic expression, each colourway combines three tones, including both heathered neutrals and bold accents such as royal blue, canary, and scarlet.
