Michael Aram's work reflects humanity through the directness of the handmade process, as each piece is lovingly made using age old traditional techniques by Michael Aram. The artisan nature of the work imbues it with a soulful quality and an energy, which Michael Aram feels is only possible with work, which reflects the hand of the maker. This energy is further enhanced by the tension of line, form, and meaning that is characteristic of Aram's work. As extraordinary objects, they cause us to pause and consider them, and therefore create a sense of ritual and ceremony in their day to day use.
Form follows function with this collection. The wiry fringe adds airy extra depth to this stainless steel basket. The ancient art of weaving is applied to the modern material of steel to create something that is light and strong, flexible yet sturdy, and has a particular wispy, semi-transparent, semi-glossy beauty all its own.
"This Large Splash Basket -- part of Michael Aram's Radiated Collection -- is strong, even though it's flexible, and it's large -- 24 inches wide -- for whatever you might want to use it for.
