The Michael Aram new Leaves collection is a celebration of the beauty and meaning found in individual Leaves. Inspired by specific types of foliage that have taken on sentimental meaning in Michael's life, this collection embodies his genuine passion for nature in its purest and most personal form. Each leaf has its own story, its own symbolism and its own inherent wonder, detail and shape. For the first time, Michael is also interpreting an entire collection of Leaves in the proportions in which they actually occur in nature, amplifying the sense of realism for which he is so well known. While each leaf is expressed as a sculptural object, Michael has yet again managed to infuse function into his forms, making them perfect for the most elemental moments in our daily lives. "There are sago palms growing outside My house in new Delhi and also a plant inside the design studio, which I look at all the time for inspiration. I had never seen the sago palm until I went to India, and now it is one of My favorite palms. I love the thick, waxy, individual Leaves which blend together, making the fronds appear as one giant leaf.".
