natures steel

designer: michael aram


"An absolutely unique chair with the sleek style you've come to expect from Michael Aram. Back and seat have "rib cage" design, while the front two legs resemble leg bones. Made of polished aluminum and stainless steel. Imported."

"The Forest Leaf Collection takes its inspiration from the intricacies of form and texture found in foliage from around the world.
A slice of the tree trunk held up by natural cast twigs in polished aluminum."

Special Edition Serving Set: "Dandelions"

"The Fairy Tale Collection takes its inspiration from the imagery that floats around classic storytelling. Drawing profoundly from Aram's background as a sculptor, each piece emerges from hand-sculpted clay and offers a child-like quality with an inherent depth of meaning. There is a 'before and after' in these pieces, with one dandelion represented in full bloom and the second one evocative of a spent flower. The fun for me is that the fullness of one and the openness of the other apply so suitably to their function as serving pieces. These dandelions also characterize my love of mixing different colored metals together."
