One-of-a-Kind Mushroom Menorah by Ben Wolf Noam

Los Angeles artist, Ben Wolf Noam started this series as an object for his family to celebrate a centuries-old tradition, to be used during Hannukah, but also displayed throughout the year as reminder of his cultural heritage. He drew on the California Clay Movement to create a psychedelic fantasy rooted in Jewish stories. The mushrooms form architectural villages—like a shtetl—inspired by the bright colors of Chagall, Jewish modernism, and the forest mushrooms that emerge with the changing of the seasons.

 

Noam makes each menorah entirely by hand and varies the mushroom sizes, patterns, and colors between menorahs creating uniquely one-of-a-kind functional artworks. Please allow us to choose one for you. They are all wonderful!
