Michael Aram presents the Butterfly Ginkgo Pot with Spoon, a lyrical celebration of nature’s metamorphosis. Inspired by the Ginkgo Biloba tree, this stainless steel sugar bowl captures a poetic spirit through its etched, cocoon-shaped vessel accented in natural and oxidized brass. Hand-painted and executed with superior artistry, the piece includes a lid and coordinating spoon, serving as a tour de force of the artisanal process. Its double leaves, reminiscent of butterfly wings, evoke a magical fantasia that turns an everyday object into a sculpture of storytelling. This enduring fusion of originality and tradition brings sculptural elegance to the home.

The Pomegranate collection takes its inspiration from one of the most universal and ancient symbols in the world. The fruit has been prized across the globe, across cultures, and across time as a representation of life, rebirth, and renewal as well as fertility and union.

The 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.
