Due to Maya’s long-standing commitment to Eastern philosophy, respect for materials has always been of primary importance to our company--the majority of our work has always been considered “green”. We produce many of our wallcoverings by hand in our Chicago studio and consequently have a great deal of control over what goes into the products we sell and how our employees are treated. Maya Romanoff Corporation strives to use natural and sustainable materials, works only with factories that are clean and treat their workers fairly, and purchases, wherever possible, materials from local sources.
- Our manufacturing techniques produce very little effluent. Wherever possible, we use water-based coloration, adhesives and finishes.
- We use the minimum amount of material to produce maximum effect: our Mother of Pearl, genuine metals, wood veneers, faux marble finish, and mica wallcoverings are constructed from thinnest-possible layers of material and, as such, have long been considered green alternatives to their traditional, bulkier counterparts.
- Wherever possible we source goods and services indigenous to the relevant manufacturing locale.
- Over 40% of our products are crafted in the USA, including top selling lines such as the Beadazzled Flexible Glass Bead Wallcoverings™ Collection, Mother of Pearl™, Weathered Walls™ and Weathered Metals™, Medici Fresco™, Grecian Crystal™, and Type II and hand-painted vinyls.
- We have reduced, and continue to seek ways to minimize, the excessive use of packing materials.
- Our goal is to create a safe, clean and pleasant atmosphere for our employees and artisans. We strive to work with the best manufacturers in the world who treat their employees with the same respect.
- Maya Romanoff contributes to Aid to Artisans™, which works all over the world with frontline craftspeople, strengthening artisan enterprises and organizations and fostering a network of entrepreneur craftspeople, enabling improvements in their lives and communities.
