Introducing: Michael Aram

Originally from New York, Michael Aram discovered the rich metalworking traditions while on a trip to India which would later inspire him to create a collection based on these untapped skills.

Each Michael Aram piece is meticulously handcrafted and reflects humanity in the most direct way. It is only through this process that Aram feels that the true meaning and characteristics of his work comes through. It is this process that causes us to pause and consider them momentarily and hence adding a ceremonious event from day-to-day.

The objects range from tableware to furniture, both are sold in galleries and specialty stores worldwide. You can now find select pieces from the Michael Aram collection at CHARALS at 171 Robson Street. Call 604.974.9497 or email info@charals.com for more details.

The Montblanc Installment at CHARALS

The partnership between CHARALS and Montblanc has spanned over two and a half decades. Before Montblanc became an internationally renowned house for timepieces and jewellery, they exclusively produced some of the finest writing instruments the world has ever seen. And the only place in Vancouver where you could have found these beautiful and exquisite pieces was at CHARALS.

As a celebration of that ongoing partnership, CHARALS introduced the largest Montblanc in-store installment in Vancouver. The entire piece was custom designed and built in Germany exclusively for the brand new CHARALS store at 171 Robson Street. The piece houses everything from writing instruments, to leather goods, and other accessories, and is a sumptuous combination of wood, glass, and stainless steel that blends harmoniously with the rest of the new store.

Stop by Monday through Saturday to discover the amazing Montblanc installment. And to shop Montblanc online visit our website at www.charals.com.

Welcome to CHARALS at 171 Robson Street

At long last, 171 Robson Street - the brand new second CHARALS location - is officially open!

The spectacular new store is once again designed by John Mason who, over twenty-eight years ago, designed the original CHARALS store at the Sinclair Centre. 171 Robson Street is about the same size as the Sinclair Centre location, but features some marvelous new additions. 

Montblanc has always been a great partner of CHARALS and with the new store they have made a further commitment to excellence by putting in a magnificent in-store installment. The entire piece was custom built in Germany and shipped to Vancouver specifically for the brand new CHARALS store.

Graf von Faber-Castell has been a mainstay of CHARALS since it's inception in 1993 and has also decided to strengthen their relationship with CHARALS by putting in a custom installment. Along with a brand new Faber-Castell cabinet, Faber-Castell is very well represented within the new store.

Everywhere you look you'll find immaculate finishes, high quality materials, and ingenious design concepts that will make the new CHARALS store at 171 Robson Street one of Vancouver's gems for years to come.

Come by and visit us Monday through Saturdays, or call 604.974.9497. You can also discover us online at www.charals.com.
