Michael Aram was born in Providence, Rhode Island in 1963. Both of Aram’s grandparents were survivors of the Armenian Genocide, and learning of it from them at a young age instilled a strong sense of justice and curiosity in him. He became interested in painting and sculpture as a teen, and received a bachelor’s degree in Art History at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine before traveling to the University of Florence in Italy to study Fine Arts. He moved to New York City in 1987 to continue his studies at the Art Students League, and took a job designing posters and books for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In 1988 he traveled to India, where he discovered traditional Indian metal-crafting techniques to make a wide variety of tools, figures, and instruments. When he got back to America he launched his first metal-ware collection in 1989, which rapidly bloomed into a successful business, selling his work in over 600 locations worldwide. He has designed items and even whole spaces for Armenian churches and charity events, Jewish festivals, and even Pope Francis. He opened his first namesake boutique in Manhattan in 2007, and divides his time between New York and Florida, where he shares homes with his husband Aret and their twin children.
