Michael Aram Ginko Coaster

The Black Orchid collection celebrates the ethereal spirit of the orchid plant. Symbolic of purity and grace, this collection captures the delicate nature of orchids while also expressing a quality of mystery and sensuality. "There is something so captivating about orchids. In black, orchids appear more seductive, like a woman wearing a black velvet gown in a glassy urban high-rise. The dark atmosphere of the Black Orchid is more sensual to me, like the afterglow of a beautiful evening. I am fascinated by the mystery behind a black orchid's origin, and the question of whether they truly exist in nature."

The Calla Lily collection is inspired by the beauty of the 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. "I was thinking of the romance of weddings and how bouquets often use flowers that carry symbolism. I remembered a picture of a woman I had seen holding her bouquet of calla lilies. She was classic, timeless, and modern all at once. There is something so alluring about the billowy flowers and arching stems which feel contemporary, yet still utterly romantic."

"There are Champa or Frangipani trees in my garden and at my workshop in India. They are all over India. They are generally planted near Buddhist and Hindu Temples since they are considered spirit trees, highly symbolic of love and recreation. While the flowers are recognized for their beauty, gentle color transitions, and fragrance, it is the stiff, glossy leaf that intrigues me most. There is such strength in their regimented and perfected shapes."
