Collection: Michael Aram

Michael Aram is an award-winning American Armenian artist who has dedicated his career to craft-based design. Lyrical and often witty, his work encompasses a wide range of media and reveals a rich and variant source of inspiration- nature, mythology, narrative storytelling, and purified form.

The Butterfly Ginkgo Collection celebrates the representation of flora as fauna. Michael's fascination with a particular type of ginkgo tree , the Ginkgo Biloba, or "Butterfly Ginkgo", which grows with a double leaf reminiscent of a butterfly's wings, gave rise to a fantasia image of the plant.

The Olive Branch Collection is one of the best
known and most loved of Michael's motifs. The
simple forms create objects that serve wonderfully
as stunning individual gifts or an exuberant table
setting that decorates an entire moment of your life.

The Dogwood Collection is inspired by the beautiful flowering tree, native to North America. Dogwood, as interpreted in metal, is enhanced with white enamel petals while its branches are finished in oxidized brass. These artful pieces integrate well in traditional and contemporary settings.

The Calla Lily Collection is inspired by the beauty of the calla lily flower. The architectural, curving shape of the flower is strong, yet suggests an intense sensuality. The flower is associated with weddings as is symbolic of purity and innocence.

The Calla Lily Midnight Collection is inspired by the beauty of the calla lily flower. The architectural, curving shape of the flower is strong, yet suggests innocence and purity. The motif is inspired by the wedding bouquet as seen in Michael Aram's mother's wedding picture. In the Calla Lily Midnight Collection, the flowers are deep purple and gold, representing creativity, wisdom, dignity, power, and luxury.
