5 Favorites: Modern Menorahs for Hanukkah (and More)

December 12, 2016

We’re admiring the current crop of menorahs that are not only modern in form but also add a note of glamour. In time for the upcoming Hanukkah holiday, here are five favorites.

Above: The Ascalon Menorah with Candles is made from solid Carrara marble and has eight candleholders to correspond with the eight days of Hanukkah and one shamash (the candle used to light the others) on a different level. Left and right diagonals in the design create an 18-degree angle, which designer Brad Ascalon points out references the fact that in Judaism, the number 18 symbolizes chai or life. Available from Design Within Reach, it’s $285 and includes 45 hand-dipped, six-inch white candles.

It has nine brass holders at varying heights that rest on a walnut tray; candles are inserted onto spikes, so they appear to float. Contact Lindsey Adelman for more information.
