Former home, grounds open to the public Maloof’s former house is now a museum operated by the Sam and Alfreda Maloof Foundation. Docent-led public tours are offered on Thursdays and Saturdays. Custom tours may also be scheduled by special arrangement with the museum.

Now a museum — The courtyard and the entrance to the original Maloof residence where tours are now conducted twice a week.

Occasionally, tour groups may get lucky and encounter Sam as he moves about the grounds. He is always generous in these situations, chatting with the visitors and answering questions they have about his life and his art.

In the shop

Visiting Maloof’s 2,210-square- foot shop, you’ll encounter the members of his staff: 50-year-old Mike Johnson, 65-year-old Larry White, and 39-year-old David Wade. All

have been with Maloof for 25 years or longer. His son Slimen also has sometimes lent his talents to the mix.

As skilled as all these people are, it is Maloof’s creativity and credibility that are the main attractions.

Sam knew early that he had a gift for design. “When I was a little boy,” he recalls, “my mother had a retail shop where I used to sit at a table, drawing and making things.”

He continues to draw, with some 750 furniture designs committed to paper. “These may show side and top views,” he says, “but never step-by-step diagrams of how something will be constructed.” Maloof and his staff know how to build a piece once they understand what it should look like. There's something to be said for being on the job 60 years — especially if one is a genius. ◻
