The Michael Aram Acorn Salt & Pepper Set is a charming celebration of nature's small jewels. A delicate interplay of materials, textures and finishes makes it a classic expression of Michael's whimsical take on natural objects. Whether resting on a kitchen counter or featured on a dining table, this small but highly sculptural object is a vibrant and beautiful expression of organic form and hand-craftsmanship.
"I love nature's abundant gifts. Fruits, vegetables, flowers, branches...in one shape or stage, they all provide us various forms of nourishment for the body or spirit. In their essence, they also reflect our humanity. Growing up in New England, my earliest memories are of the towering oak trees. The fallen acorns were so often overlooked though by any beings taller than squirrels and children. It's great fun to study their unique beauty in detail and finally give them a little pride of place in the adult world."
