the ‘menorah’ candle design uses historical references

‘a menorah is a jewish candelabrum used as a symbol of unity since biblical times,’ says reddish studio designer. the different parts of the reused menorahs now share their life stories, while creating new stories together. the design features a timber box, perforated with seven circular holes in order to position the steel candles holders, where the center-most candle is the biggest of them all.
