Michael Aram
The product celebrates the representation of flora as fauna. Michael's fascination with a particular type of ginkgo tree, 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."
Very sturdy and beautiful caddy. Fits a lot of cutlery! I get asked about it during parties. Joseph. Boston, MA. 2025-03-18 13:05:50
