The story

Founded by Tibor Kalman.1

Tibor Kalman founded M & Co. with founding partners Carol Bokuniewicz and Liz Trovato in 1979. Despite studying journalism, he channeled his interest in typography and design to start M & Co. The company employed the likes of Stephen Doyle, Emily Oberman, Alexander Isley, Bethany Johns, Marlene McCarty, and Scott Stowell. Kalman's wife, Maira, referred to as “the 'M' in M&Co” was heavily involved in the organization and was a collaborator for many projects.

Artist Stefan Sagmeister joined M & Co. in 1993 after returning to New York from Hong Kong, fulfilling a long‑held ambition to work with Kalman before the studio closed later that year when Kalman left the design business to edit Colors magazine.
