I was first introduced to the work of designer Michael Aram when I discovered his forest leaf olive dish at a store in Greenport, Long Island. Since then I'm a huge fan.
Michael Aram is an American born artist who works primarily in metal. He studied his craft of metal working in India and in New York, which led to a truly unique style. Each piece is made using age old traditional handmade techniques with no two examples ever exactly the same. Primarily he uses aluminum and stainless steel in his designs, which are created in such a way that excess material can be reused for other objects. His products range from tableware to furniture and he beautifully fuses modern design with organic form.
He’s one of the pioneers of the modern – organic trend. One of his signature styles is to mix organic forms with modern materials. I especially love his earth and water collections that are based on foliage from around the world or nautical themes.
