The Butterfly Ginkgo Collection

Michael Aram presents the Butterfly Ginkgo Paper Towel Holder, a lyrical exploration of nature's ability to metamorphose from flora to fauna. Inspired by the Ginkgo Biloba tree, this freestanding piece features delicate goldtone leaves reminiscent of a butterfly's wings, hand-rendered with the highest level of Indian craftsmanship. The juxtaposition of nickelplate and oxidized finishes creates a poetic fantasia, turning a kitchen essential into a storied work of art. Designed with a weighted base to accommodate large rolls, it celebrates the perfectly imperfect beauty of the handmade process. This functional sculpture transforms the everyday into a moment of magic.

Super good looking and functional. It’s a good purchase.. Debra. Fair Oaks, CA. Sun Jun 28 2026

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. Executed at the highest level of handcraftsmanship, each piece is rendered in solid brass with hand-etched cocoon-shaped vessels. The pieces in the collection are a tour de force of the handcrafted process, capturing the poetic spirit that is so deeply indicative of Michael's work. The first time I saw this tree, it looked like it had been completely overtaken by butterflies... as if they would all take flight the moment I walked too close or made a noise. The idea that the leaves could evoke the beauty of butterflies was magical to me, like trees that can metamorphose from flora to fauna in the blink of an eye.

Michael Aram presents the Butterfly Ginkgo Frame, a poetic celebration of nature where flora transforms into fauna. Inspired by the Ginkgo Biloba, this horizontal rectangular piece features solid brass leaves that evoke the delicate beauty of butterfly wings. Handcrafted using traditional Indian techniques, the gold and black metal design includes etched cocoon-shaped accents and a refined kickstand for tabletop display. This exquisite piece reflects a fascination with the perfectly imperfect beauty of the natural world, turning a snap-in frame into a lyrical narrative of craft. It is a sophisticated tour de force that captures a spirit of wonder for the home.

I love almost everything Michael Adam makes. This took some time to adjust to, admittedly. It was larger and gaudier than I expected from the photo. And the butterflies looked like insects. It requires exactly the right photo to make it look good. That’s the frame. The delivery time was insane. I ordered it in December and received it in April. In truth, it wasn’t worth the wait..
