Spotlight on Michael Aram: Unique and Luxurious Handmade Art

The Perfect Addition to Any Room

Designs by Michael Aram are arguably among the best collections in the world, and are one of the top lines offered by Chelsea Gifts. We proudly present Aram’s collection, complete with his exquisite accent pieces for the den, dining room, home office or anywhere you want to add a touch of earthy beauty. Michael Aram home goods are both eye-catching and functional, expertly made from metals, ceramics and glass.

Each piece is entirely handmade with no two examples ever exactly the same. The handmade quality of the work allows it to shift beautifully between the realm of fine and decorative art. This enduring concoction of quality and originality sits comfortably at home in contemporary as well as in more classical interiors.

Inspirations from Around the World

Born in the U.S., Aram studied fine art in Florence, Italy and attended the Art Students League of New York in New York City. Living as an artist in New York in the late 1980s, Aram took what would later be a life-altering trip to India where he discovered rich metalworking traditions. Inspired by the ancient metalworking techniques of India, Aram began working with local Indian craftsmen and began producing metalwork with older methods such as sand casting and hand forging. He went on to set up a home and workshop in New Delhi. The award-winning metalwork, homeware and fine jewelry designer later opened a self-named boutique in Manhattan in 2007.
