Marigold Artisans Braid Cheeseboard with spreader

Marigold Artisans is a collective of artisans and young design talents who are given a platform to embrace their deep love of traditional craft and contemporary design. The collection, named after the marigold flower, is associated with the sun and symbolic of energy and creativity. Each piece is a celebration of design and redefines luxury in a fresh and modern way.

Marigold Artisans' Creative Director, Aret Tikiryan, is proud to showcase new talent and to support Children's Burn Foundation, a charity whose mission he has a personal connection to. After experiencing 2nd and 3rd degree burns as a result of an accident in early childhood, Tikiryan was motivated to become an occupational therapist to help the burn injured of all ages. Says Tikiryan, "Even though I have switched careers from healthcare to design, serving others is an intrinsic need of mine, and I am pleased to contribute any way I can through the effort of Marigold Artisans by donating a percentage of profits to children's philanthropic organizations."
