Michael Aram: A global lifestyle empire sprung from Armenian roots

Born in Providence, Rhode Island, Michael Aram is best known to the world and to the Armenian community as a creative artist who took a simple idea - working with traditional Indian metal-crafting techniques, which he fell in love with as a youth - and transforming it into a global lifestyles brand with a distinct style that also draws from his Armenian roots. The grandchild of Armenian Genocide survivors from Arabgir and Kharpert (present-day Elazig in Turkey), today Michael Aram Wolohojian is a renowned designer. He launched his first metal-ware collection in 1989 after taking a trip to India, where he began working with local craftsmen. He currently sells his work in over 600 locations worldwide, having opened his first namesake boutique in Manhattan in 2007.

It’s amazing how you chose birds… when a bird flies it does look like a cross, and ironically Armenians have always had a deep faith in religion, being the First Nation accepting Christianity, each one of those birds is a symbol of faith, peace and freedom… yes the Turks tried to erase us, but failed, our survival is directly related to our faith, culture and history…Thank you for this heartfelt video…🙏🏻🇦🇲
