Butterfly Gingko Gold Paper Towel Holder

MICHAEL ARAM

The Butterfly Ginkgo Gold Collection pays tribute to Michael’s original Butterfly Ginkgo Collection, which first debuted in 2007 and shortly thereafter became one of the most iconic motifs in Aram's oeuvre. With the launch of this second generation interpretation of one of his favorite collections, Aram breathes new life into one of his most poetic motifs with solid brass sculpts, polished to a gold hue, and featuring painted white enamel butterflies.

“I still remember making the first rendition of Butterfly Ginkgo and knowing in my heart that it would become an important motif for me. Inspired by a ginkgo leaf blowing through my bedroom window one day, I looked at the gingko tree outside with fresh eyes, imagining its leaves as butterflies ready to take flight.” -M
