Michael Aram presents the Butterfly Ginkgo Knob, a lyrical exploration of flora as fauna that transforms functional hardware into a miniature work of art. Inspired by the Ginkgo Biloba tree, each novelty piece is meticulously handcrafted in solid brass using ancestral techniques of sand casting, filing, and welding. A poetic celebration of the handmade process, the matte gold and brown finish reveals hand-etched cocoon-shaped vessels and unique variations in texture that capture a moment of metamorphosis. This imported, screw-mounted treasure brings a sense of mythology and narrative storytelling to the home, honoring the perfectly imperfect beauty of nature through the enduring spirit of Michael’s global craft traditions.
