Maresca Textiles are luxurious printed fabrics and wallpapers designed by Kathryn Maresca Faull, available to the interior design trade through her studio and showrooms nationwide. Blending hand made marks with digital and screen printing techniques, Kathryn designs modern textiles with character that transition from modern to traditional interior spaces.
Originally from South Carolina, Kathryn graduated from the textile department of the Rhode Island School of Design. As a student at RISD, Kathryn fell in love with the act of making. Whether through silkscreen printing, knitting, embroidery or painting-making things by hand became such an integral part of her design process and it continues to be the backbone of her work today. After RISD she spent several years working in New York before moving back to the south to set up her textile design studio in Savannah, GA. Having grown up around interior design and architecture, it was clear when she opened her studio that she would focus on the development of fabrics for the interior design trade. In Savannah, her signature handmade-modern style was born, using the architecture, landscape, colors and history of the south as inspiration for many of her premier designs. In the spring of 2018 Kathryn and the studio moved to her husband’s hometown of Chicago, which now serves as her newest source for creativity and design inspiration.
The manufacture of Maresca Textiles fabrics and wall coverings is just as carefully considered as their design. American mills manufacture both screen printed and digitally printed designs using the highest quality pigments and dyes. Our ground fabrics are imported from Europe and our ground papers are American made. We strive to keep fabric orders consistent with the samples they are ordered from, however they are printed to order on natural materials and therefore slight color variation can occur between print runs or ground material dye lots.
