All She Wants For Christmas ... Ruth Aram

Ruth Aram, the director of the Aram Store, is the daughter of its founder Zeev. She had her own shop in Hampstead until 200o when she joined the family business. Now she heads up the retail side of the business, regularly visiting international trade shows to source new designs for the store. She also works with manufacturers on in-store events. Ruth recently put her own designs into production for the first time with the Aldwych collection of dressing table and two console tables.

Here she tells mad about the house what is on her wish list this year:
