The Michael Aram Black Orchid Collection was inspired by the powerful sensuality of orchids and the rich ambiance of haute couture - strikingly simple yet full of the most extreme detail. The collection has an almost gothic feeling - opiated, lush, and smoldering - like the dark, velvety atmosphere of a luxurious evening. Handcrafted of stainless steel and black nickel plate. Approx. 17"L x 9"W x 2.75"T. Not dishwasher safe. As with all metals, never place in microwave oven. Hand wash with gentle detergent, dry immediately with soft cloth. Avoid any detergent with lemon or other acidic agents. Do not soak, even in plain water, or leave unwashed overnight. Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool or scouring pads that can scratch and dull metal surfaces. Imported. Proposition 65 warning for California residents About Michael Aram: American artist Michael Aram studied art in New York in the late 1980s before traveling to India on an inspirational journey, where he discovered a rich metalworking tradition that inspired his turn toward handcrafted design. Michael Aram established a home and workshop in New Delhi, where he began crafting objects ranging from tableware to furniture, all of which reflect the hand of the artisan. The tension of line, form, and meaning is a distinguishing characteristic of Aram's extraordinary designs, inspiring thoughtful appreciation and bringing a sense of ceremony in their day-to-day use. Each Michael Aram piece is handmade, so no two items are exactly alike.
