There is a tremendous reflection of our humanity in handmade objects. When you make things by hand, somehow that energy, that tension, that passion, all gets absorbed into the object.

About Michael Aram

Our Founder
Michael Aram is an internationally recognized designer who creates luxurious objects to enhance the everyday. While the business of Michael Aram has grown exponentially over the decades, Michael Aram the artist and inveterate entrepreneur is still personally behind every design that bears his name. Each piece represents a celebration of the hand – from the original drawing Michael creates at its inception, to the masterful artisans who give it life. Each is made one at a time, so no two are exactly alike, but all are imbued with a vibrancy that engages the senses and sparks both contemplation and conversation.
Motif & Inspiration
Michael is highly inspired by his surroundings and often makes sculptures of objects that might otherwise be overlooked in the everyday. Nature is his biggest muse, as is the handmade process. His work combines the imperfections innate in the handmade process with the perfectly imperfect beauty of nature to create objects that reflect humanity. Many of his pieces are ingrained with a rich storyline, inherent symbolism, and deep-rooted meaning. Sometimes his work is simply an exploration and celebration of the handmade process.
