I view Bridge in a similar way. We’re not creating the software—we’re discovering it. Our methods for operating an online store were bound to...

Coronavirus has resulted in a national shutdown, with many companies shifting to having at least some employees permanently working from home. People ended up spending most of their days at home during the week and, having nowhere to go due to the shutdown, on the weekends. Having a more intimate relationship with their domiciles, appears to have encouraged people to have an increased interest in decorating the place where they're now spending most of their time.
The Michael Aram Laurel Collection is inspired by the beauty and movement of curved leaves and bowing branches. Aram loves the laurel motif, symbolic of peace and victory. The sculptures are expressive and have a sense of movement and grace, but at the same time feel classical.
