Black Iris Table Lamp

The Black Iris Collection is inspired by the vitality and beauty of the iris flower. Named after the Greek word for rainbow, the idea of a "black rainbow" feels oxymoronic and mysterious. Michael Aram uses contrasting oxidized and polished brass, as his way of doubting the question of whether there is such a thing as an iris which is truly black in nature. I am fascinated with the beauty and mystery of black irises. They are symbolic of wisdom, courage, and admiration. Given as gifts, they convey deep sentiments. Each Michael Aram metal object undergoes a series of grinding, buffing, and polishing techniques. Variations or 'imperfections' in the product's finish are characteristic of the creation process. Due to this handmade nature, no two pieces are ever exactly alike. Handcrafted of natural and oxidized brass, stainless steel, and marble. Care: Wipe with soft cloth. Do not clean with any chemical solvents. Directions for placing photo in frame: Never move tab without loosening screw first as tab may snap. Loosen screw then move tab. Remove frame back and place in photo. Place frame back in place. Set tabs in correct position, then tighten screws in place. Do not use tab to loosen or tighten screw. A screwdriver should be used.
