The splendid purity of springtime freshness is found within the decor of this Vintage Bloom Coaster Set. The Vintage Bloom Collection evokes a sentimental interpretation of nature as inspired by Michael's love of old botanical prints. The mixed metals and delicate enamel finishes capture a sense of nostalgia for the eclectic glamour of the 1940s. Michael is highly inspired by his surroundings and often makes sculptures of objects that might otherwise be overlooked in the everyday. Michael Aram states that "Nature is his biggest muse, as is the handmade process. 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."
"I found a forgotten piece of textile with fabulous watercolor flowers on linen that had faded ever-so-beautifully, over the years. The fabric and floral pattern reminded me of the dresses my grandmother often wore around the house. The designs in this collection bring back those feelings of nostalgia and effortless style." ~ M
