Inspired by nature, Michael Michaud creates models from natural elements, then uses layers of gold, silver and copper metals on bronze and pewter to give the Table Art collection an elegant and unique look all its own.  Each piece is cast and then finished by hand, meaning that no two pieces are ever exactly alike.

The Paper Birch, slender and elegant, with its intensely white bark, is visible even in the dark of night. The tough outer wrapping of the tree is the bark from which American Indians fashioned their strong, lightweight bark canoes. These Native Americans, as well as early colonists and European herbalists, all agreed that birch leaves were therapeutic and all prescribed them for many disorders. The leaves and twigs of some birches boast a spicy aroma and are used to make scented oil. Because of their singular beauty, they have been designated National Memorial Trees for Mothers and as such were planted on the Capitol grounds in Washington, DC.
